How to Steal Like an Artist

R.I.P Sidney Lumet

Show some respect and watch Before The Devil Knows You're Dead.

Here's a scene to get you in the mood. The acting (Ethan Hawke & Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and the cinematography (Ron Fortunato) is incredibly paced. A master of tension.

What if I take my problem to the United Nations?

Oh dear. I think I'm in love. Nothing like a protest song.

Harvey asked war photographer Seamus Murphy to make music videos for her new album.

Thank you Jesse McCormack
for drawing my attention to this album

I recently sat down and had a chat with the guys behind Melbourne music video outfit Moop Jaw. It was great to hear about their experiences in film and really got us excited to keep doing what we're doing. Sometimes you lose heart, especially when you're really putting yourself out there and things don't come up rainbows.

Rhett recommended this interview with Paul Thomas Anderson to me, "a master with no ego". We're all big PTA fans here, hearing him speak made me remember why making films is so good all over again. Highly recommended.







And also, have a look at one of Rhett's music videos. I really like this one he did for Flight Facilities:

La Mirada Film Festival

La Mirada Film Festival opens in Melbourne this week and, in a stroke of good luck, I will be able to attend! The festival is co-curated by Pedro Almodovar. He has a good little blog going here, which offers interesting perspectives on film history and the industry.

I'm looking forward to seeing Even the Rain, with my favourite revolucionario, Gael Garcia Bernal:

Jamie Harley

Jamie Harley is getting lots of attention out there in the interweb. He recently compiled a list of his favourite music videos for Modular. He modestly chose one of his own, a clip he made for Memory Tapes - Today is Our Life. His work includes a lot of found footage, a time-consuming but cost-effective way to create some beautiful video collages. Have a look at his Memory Tapes clip below - the parts with the Busby Berkeley dancers are lovely - or visit his Vimeo for more examples of his work.
