I bet you thought I was dead! Well, perhaps I was but appropriately for Halloween I have sprung back to life like a Creature sliding off a slab and I am currently in hiding in the snow bound wastes of Hertfordshire. There have been reasons for my silence on this frequency, some interesting, some less so, none to be revealed for the time being – especially since I have great and important news… I too have created a Monster. But,…

Banksy is at it again – you may have noticed a bunch of really big rats on buildings in downtown NYC. Here are two of them. UPDATE: And another one!

I just saw this on Matt Dentler’s blog and I feel compelled to post it here too because Charles is so wonderful and his words are so stirring.

You’re supposed to send this video to 5 friends so I’ll put it here for the 5 people who read my blog! It’s an odd mix of earnest and somewhat funny but hey, it’s all for a good cause: VOTE!

Remember those Budweiser ads that were funny and then kinda annoying? Well director Charles Stone is back with the original cast to make a political point about the last 8 years and the change we need. True.

Another great event from Own It – The Creators Guide to Going Mobile: a Digital Revolution Made Simple. If you can get to it, this looks like it will address a lot of the questions that we all have about mobile content and how it will pay… Are you thinking of joining the next revolution in digital media and distributing your work through mobile phones or inventing software applications? This seminar will give you an overview of the legal framework…

The GSMA, the global trade group for the mobile industry, and Mofilm, a pioneer of short films for mobile and on-line distribution has announced the first Global Mobile Film Festival with a call for films to international filmmakers. The Global Mobile Festival follows the success of the GSMA’s previous collaborations with the Sundance Film Festival to create the Global Short Film Project. The GSMA and Mofilm are seeking films up to five minutes in length, made both using traditional filmmaking…

Another barrage of wonderful films from the LFF… and sadly only three days to go. And yet more fantastic British suprises. Any new film that comes out by Michael Winterbottom (yes, he has made 15 films in 12 years.. he really has..) will always be of great interest. And his latest GENOVA is possibly his most intimate yet. I really liked it. The premise sounds pretty straight – following the death of his wife in a car accident, university prof…

I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered Sarah Haskin’s Target: Women videos. If you ever watch ads marketed to women and you think “huh?” or “WTF?” or even “Please keep your cheesy marketing campaigns out of my living room you patronizing turds” then you will enjoy Haskin’s take on birth control, botox, chick flicks and yogurt! P.S. Beware of gray hoodies: It’s that “I have a Masters but then I got married” look.

Hello all, Am still trying to process the information overload that was yesterday’s very entertaining as well as informative Power to the Pixel forum (continuing today). I will write up the reams of notes that I produced throughout the day, I promise. Liz did say that videos of both days’ sessions would be available shortly so keep an eye on the website. In the meantime, let me make it up to you with an exclusive Shooters’ 10% discount on the…
