Sundance Preview: Premieres

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Ah, the premieres. The stars everyone wants to see, the glamor of the red carpets, and, for press, an opportunity to get an early look at some films that might be the next big thing for 2012. Everyone’s looking to see what pops at Sundance; by a couple days into the fest the buzz is in full swing in lines and on shuttles and over drinks at late-night parties. So, what did you think of this film? What’re you hearing about that one? Here are the Premieres about which I expect to hear a lot of buzz around and about Park City.

Check This Out: hitRECord at the Movies in SF

Friday, July 29th, 2011

If I lived in San Francisco, I so know where I would be on Wednesday, August 24 — at the hitRECord at the Movies event at The Regency Ballroom.

I’ve written here before about hitRECord, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (aka “RegularJoe)’s collaborative arts effort wherein people upload things and merge and meld things, and play around with some other things to create some very intriguing projects. Since I last wrote about hitRECord, they even have a Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, which started out as a collaboration, and which has led to a series of Tiny Stories books that are set to be published by ItBooks and HarperCollins.

If you’re an artist, a storyteller, or just an all-around creative person, hitRECord is a cool place to collaborate with other brilliant-minded types. Artists upload illustrations, papercuts, songs, what have you, and other artists pull various bits and pieces together in creating something nifty. So check it out. If you missed this the last time I posted about hitRECord, here’s Morgan and Destiny’s Eleventeenth Date — The Zeppelin Zoo, which played at SXSW. It’s a little cutesy-cute … but in a cool way, promise.

And if you’re in San Francisco, here’s where you can get the scoop on the upcoming hitRECord event.
