‘This Apt Aint Big Enuff’ video
Shameless isn’t the right word. Proud plug for my friend Shanna’s independent movie she made for a contest. She won third place! My very talented friends. My dear friend Katie also got her screen play, Whole Lotta Shakin’, in the Strawberry One Act Festival in New York. If you’re feeling generous–which I know you are–consider donating to her indigogo…
“Tracing Skylines” – Skiing in Detroit’s abandon buildings.
One of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time. But as you’re watching you see them pile cement blocks, and broken pieces of wood with a thin layer of snow on top to build a ramp to jump over a pile of broken glass….and I’m thinking that I would literally cry if I…

It was a very fluid presentation of economic…
The Employment
I really thought this movie was intriguing and reminded me of one of our readings on the sociology of inanimate objects in Seminar. But you can enjoy it regardless 🙂

“The Look of Saul Bass” (aka, More Saul Bass)
I was on Art of the Title this weekend looking for inspiration for an upcoming moving project we have. It’s such a terrific resource for looking at the design of title sequences as art. And more than just talking about Saul Bass, this video discusses how Bass changed movie titles into the designed form we…
Evan Observation Narrative
Alright, guys. I’d been avoiding it but now I have other homework to avoid so here’s my second paper for Narrative and Argument. We’re on a fourth now and I only feel like they’re getting steadily worse. As you know, I’m use to writing about myself, but writing about other people is much harder. In…
