Jeff Pliskin

Jeff Pliskin (born March 19, 1979 in Miami Beach, FL) is a photographer, film, and music video director. He has also worked as a music producer and promoter. Pliskin currently resides in Long Beach, NY and works in the NYC/Brooklyn area.

In 2017 he released "Optimistic Yes," an experimental film starring Angelo Moore of the Southern California Ska-Punk band Fishbone and HR of the legendary Hardcore-Punk band, Bad Brains. This independent film was picked as an Official Selection of the 2016 Afro-Punk Film Festival, 2017 Troma Film Festival, and 2018 Philadelphia Independent Film Festival.

When he began directing music videos, many bands and musicians noted that Pliskin's background in punk rock, hip-hop and reggae was beneficial. He has worked with artists such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Fishbone, Bad Brains, Slightly Stoopid, Sublime, Cro-Mags, Murphy’s Law, Gang Starr, Fortunate Youth, Jane’s Addiction, Immortal Technique and many more. Pliskin’s music videos for Slightly Stoopid's "Don’t Stop," “No Cocaine,” & “The Prophet” garnered him three music video of the year awards from the San Diego Music Awards and The Pier online reggae forum as voted on by the fans.

Pliskin’s mini Documentary in 2013, “Guilty of Giving,” featured musical icon Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction and underground NYC Hip-Hop icon Immortal Technique donating and helping others in need at the Rockaway Beach section of NYC after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the community.
