[4] While working on an R.E.M video with director Jem Cohen in the early 1990s Stuckey began to move back to filmmaking.
He would go on to direct music videos and documentaries for Thievery Corporation,[5] Widespread Panic, Vic Chesnutt, Bob Mould, Minor Threat, and Garbage.
Pancake Mountain was created by Stuckey as an homage to local TV as well as his fondness for DIY community-based art movements like DC's Dischord Records Scene and The Factory.
