A great interview with David Fincher

ROSA by Jesús Orellana Stumbled on this short animated film by comic-artist Jesús Orellana today. Made with no budget, on his own, over the course of a year. It’s gone on to be featured in a number of prestigious festivals, and is now in development for a feature length film. Amazing talent here. Link to the trailer: http://vimeo.com/28386215 ~Mac

Cool POV video from filmmaker Will Roegge, who I run into from time to time at various drift events. I quite like this one. It’s both simple and visceral. Enjoy! ~Mac

I think that’s….I just always remember kinda being pummeled by fear early on and feeling like “God, if I could’ve just gotten rid of that fear earlier, this might’ve been a little bit easier.” Just don’t give a fuck. That’s kinda the best thing to do.” - Paul Thomas Anderson giving advice to young filmmakers
