If there is one thing about social media I understand; it is the idea of audience. A collection of people who daily sift through kilatons of short and loud messages to find something that catches interest, or offends them, or makes them laugh. If anyone is reading this it is likely because of the intriguing premise I offered. And if you don’t finish to the end I really hope you have found a...

George Lucas: "People Who Alter Works of Art Are... →
alexheath:
“People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians, and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society.”
This is coming from the man that is supposedly re-releasing Star Wars in 3D next year.

No is the New Yes by James Shelley →
Until you say ‘no’ to everything else, you cannot say ‘yes’ to something worth fully investing yourself in.
Saying no is simply saying yes to other things.

I have, may it please the court, a few words to say. In the first place, I deny everything but what I have all along admitted — the design on my part to free the slaves. I intended certainly to have made a clean thing of that matter, as I did last winter when I went into Missouri and there took slaves without the snapping of a gun on either side, moved them through the country, and finally left...

An Island
I recently attended an official screening of a new film by Vincent Moon and the band Efterklang. I knew everyone there. There was fellowship, and the sounds of laughter and kids running around. The event took place at a friend’s house. On her TV set.
These types of screenings are taking place around the world this month. The reason is because of the model Efterklang chose for their premier, known...

Spike Jonze's "I'm Here" Full Review →
Some of my earliest memories involve the work of Shel Silverstein. My mother would read The Giving Tree to me when I was about as young as I can recollect.
Highly acclaimed producer, writer and director Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are, Being John Malkovich) undertook the task of turning the classic narrative into a love story about two robots living in a Los Angeles where humans and...

WatchSpeaking of gorgeous cinematography (weren’t we?) & subtle narrative (yes we were!).
I submit to you a rough cut diamond in the short film category. The film is called THE EARTH IN THE AIR. This was a thesis film. This time, that fact is not intended as a caveat.

I'm Here — a short film by Spike Jonze
When Spike Jonze asks the question “what makes us human?” he uses a robot to strike at the heart of our emotions. Sheldon is apparently in design more human than the people that populate LA in this parallel reality. He falls in love. It costs him. He still loves.
I could watch it over and over again, both for the impressive technical aspects of this film and the storytelling...
