Basement Jaxx Call in Max Hattler

If you’re a regular round these parts you know I have a massive love for the work of visual artist Max Hattler (DN074 & DN119), so I wasn’t at all surprised to hear that after seeing his experimental piece Drift at last year’s London International Animation Festival, Basement Jaxx got their management to track him [...]

Lynch ‘em all

Not content with being a world renowned filmmaker, photographer and painter, the legend that is David Lynch is embracing digital technology once again, by turning his hand to a new web-based project simply called the Interview Project. The project consists of the Lynch team (led by his son Austin Lynch) traveling on a 20,000 mile road trip [...]

Asides

• I've pretty much been fighting a losing battle against posting slackness here on DN, but thankfully my Short of the Week rotation has kept me at least slightly honest and tapping away at the keys. So I have not one, but two SotW posts for you to check out: Handmade - CISMA Snow Angel - Laurie J Proud Enjoy! #
• This may have completely passed me by were it not for @boaboaboa giving me a nudge, but master of the macabre David Lynch has sent a team on a 20,000 mile road trip over 70 days across the United States to find people and their stories. Not sure what the planned release schedule is but Episode 1 Jess posted yesterday and is well worth 3 minutes of your time. #
• Been holding onto this gem for a little while hoping for a DN interview with Nodern. Alas it wasn't to be, so instead Oh, Diamond, Diamond, Thou Little Knowest the Mischief Thou Hast Done (to give it's full title), has the pleasure of being my freaky Short of the Week pick. Hopefully I haven't caused masses of SotW regulars to run for the hills in a confused and slightly disturbed state! Have a read and watch. #
• Last night I both pleased to see and gutted to have missed the inaugural Bad Movie Club event that 2000 or so fellow Twitters were Tweeting away about. However, there's a thoughtful post about it over on the cowfish blog that's worth checking out if the idea tickles you. #
• A few days ago Wallpaper* and partners Tudor watches launched their new film channel with coverage of the Wallpaper* Design Awards. Instead of hogging all the limelight themselves, they're reaching out to video creatives everywhere to help create content for the new channel. Head on over to find out how to get involved. #
