Whatever you do, do it for peace
-John Lennon

"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message." (thanks NOah!)

Your eyeballs

I work in marketing and I live in Manhattan. I walk from the Lower East Side to Times Square most days of the week. I am well aware that every surface, static or moving is competing for my attention and I am wise to just how much it costs for advertisers to market to me in this way. This video from Good Magazine however, is a really great depiction the cost of all this eyeball real estate in my fair city.

I am in the midst of recruiting teams for the NYC 48 Hour Film Project, so if you are in the NYC area and you need something REALLY FUN and creative and exciting to do this summer...

Logo-purple-twotoned

The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and reckless weekend of film making mania, where teams of renegade filmmakers create short films at break-neck speed, compete for prizes and a chance to participate in a national film making showdown!

This is the 7th year and with 50 participating cities in the US and 11 abroad there will probably be over a thousand teams participating! Winners from each city will compete in an international 48 Hour Film making Showdown and also get invited to participate in some thematic events around the country for additional fame, fortune and fun!

Now, you may be asking yourself, what kind of films get made in 48 hours? Well all you have to do is type in '48 Hour Film' to YouTube and you will find some gems like:

Posse: a 48 Hour Film Project

Duck, Duck, Goose! (National 48 Hour Film Challenge)

The Tipparinos - 48 Hour Film Project Shootout 2006

All the films will eventually be archived on www.48.tv
