Jordan Shoot a Wrap! posted on October 7th, 2009
Completed shoot for an NFB (National Film Board of Canada) interactive documentary on poet Jordan Scott. We captured Jordan reading to an audience and interviewed him on his experience growing up with a stutter and how they relate to the poems in his book Blert. All of this will be weaved into a flash based interface. I’m pretty excited about the concept we have come up with. Check back later to find a link to the work.
Post-POP Happiness!!! posted on October 5th, 2009
We did it! Pop Montreal and hosted The Happiness Project and offered us an incredible audience. Starting Wednesday September 30th to Sunday Oct 4th, each day we had a steady flow of enthusiastic music, art and happiness fans! We got hugs, thank yous and folks coming back a second time, weather it was just for the cookies or maybe the smiles we won’t ask, as we enjoyed having you all with us.
Happiness is an infectious feeling and spread in waves both throughout the house and the festival and we’d like to think we had something to do with it. 200-300 people came through the house each day, from 24 month-olds, to teenagers, to 60 year-olds, and we hope each one of you got to taste the fresh baked cookies and to enjoy the art work.
We would like to thank you all for coming to the show and sharing the warmth, hugs, drawings, and smiles! We had an unbelievable weekend in Montreal with The Happiness Project and the POP folks. What a great city, and what a great festival. Thank you!
The artists that participated were incredible and we could not have been luckier to have them all with us. Charlie visited on Saturday night and had a private viewing with the artists. He was deeply moved by the sincerity and thoughtfulness of the presented artwork.
