FILM::ANIMATOR LUIS COOK "THE PEARCE SISTERS"

Last week I attended the annual No Spot Film Festival for Creativity Magazine. Production companies and Ad agencies gathered to discuss the up & coming, and those who submitted work.
Among the budding (yet somewhat already established) filmmakers, was animator Luis Cook. His short film titled, The Pearce Sisters was my overall favorite of the bunch.
“An amusingly bleak hearted tale of two weather lashed old spinsters, Lol and Edna Pearce. They live on a remote and austere strip of coast. They scrape out a miserable existence from the sea. The Pearce sisters is a tale of love, loneliness, guts, gore, nudity, violence, smoking and cups of tea.”
If you’re not “into” animation, that’s okay. Trust me, you’ll still have a wild appreciation for the quirky humor. Unfortunately, Cook did not take the title for Best Short, but what does Creativity know!? I’m still a fan.

TO DO/EXHIBIT::BROOKLYNITES

There is something utterly captivating about these photos featured in the Brooklynites exhibit.
They represent Brooklyn for it’s beautiful grittiness that is often largely overlooked.
A winter day in Coney Island (I can’t believe it won’t exist anymore!), a moment with a lover, and those cool snowy mornings that make you dread the day ahead but love it at the same time. I adore how these photos make me feel and I adore Brooklyn even more.

MV::THE EDITORS-AN END HAS A START

Yawn. In case you haven't had your fill of dance videos (uhum...Patrick Daughter's Feist MV 1-2-3-4), here is ANOTHER one straight from (often posted about) prod.company Colonel Blimp's Diane Martel. She directs this fun, but not totally innovative MV for hipster band The Editors. You decide.

AD::JUAN CABRAL DIRECTS!

Finally! Creative director turned commercial director Juan Cabral (Fallon Agency/UK a.k.a my future husband) has directed this new spot for Cadbury Milk, featuring Phil Collins 80's slow-jam "In the Air Tonight" along with a drumming gorilla. Outcome? Awesome.
