MESSENGERS a Feature Documentary about Bicycle Messengers by Daniel Leeb It was the summer of 2001 when I began a journey that has lasted over 10 years. I have followed and documented the rise of an underground subculture with its own language, code of conduct, mysteries, heroes and dreams. Racing along side these urban athletes, the world of the bike messenger has become my life, their community has become my family, and some of the fastest men on two wheels have become both my closest friends and the subjects of this documentary. We are launching this Kickstarter to raise the funds necessary for post production and our last remaining shoots. After filming for 10 years, the editing process is no small task, especially when we are talking about editing 500 hours of footage down to 90 minutes. The real story. MESSENGERS takes you into the world of the bike messenger from the streets where the deliveries are made to the underground racing circuit where heroes are created. Why $60,000 Help me bring the story of these heroes to the screen
The 2000 Most Important Films Of All Time I An Infograph If you live long enough, you get to appreciate culture’s patterns. You see that Menudo is really NSYNC is really One Direction. Eventually, society just craves an old flavor and it’s mixed anew. No place is this more true than with film. The History of Film is the latest archival infographic from HistoryShots. It’s a meticulously researched terraform of our pop-culture past. (Ed note: See a different take, Martin Scorsese’s top 85 films, here.) Before he could build the graphic, though, designer Larry Gormley had to narrow down thousands of candidates, collected over two years, to a more manageable figure. With the list in hand, Gormley began plotting. “The original feature-length movies were dramas, then came adventure/action films, then Westerns, etc. It’s a surprisingly effective visual. If you’d like a print of the graphic for your own, 43”x22” posters start at $34. Buy it here.

How to read a movie Above: Hitchcock's "Notorious" (1946). Bergman on strong axis. Grant at left. Bergman lighter, Grant shadowed. Grant above, Bergman below. I've mentioned from time to time the "shot at a time" sessions I do at film festivals and universities, sifting through a film with the help of the audience. This all began for me in about 1969, when I started teaching a film class in the University of Chicago's Fine Arts program. I did. One thing I quickly discovered was that even much smaller audiences can contain someone who can answer any question. Of course you don't simply creep along and talk about what you're looking at. I bought some books that were enormously helpful. I already knew about the painter's "Golden Mean," or the larger concept of the "golden ratio." Now what do I mean by "positive" or "negative?" There are many other rules of thumb. In simplistic terms: Right is more positive, left more negative. Now let me walk you through a single shot from Hitchcock's "Notorious."
Free Technology for Teachers Oscar Nominated Short Films Pulled From the Web Normally, the Best Short Film awards at the Oscars are a great opportunity to go the kitchen to grab a beer. After all, you probably haven’t seen these films and don’t have much invested in who’s winning or losing (unless you’re the gambling type). That changed this year when all of the animated short film and live action short film nominees made their way online, letting anyone watch them for free. But then the animated nominees vanished from YouTube this past week. What happened? It turns out that Carter Pilcher, the CEO of distributor Shorts International sent a letter to the nominees, personally requesting that they take down their work. “Unlike Webbies or Ani’s, the Academy Award is designed to award excellence in the making of motion pictures that receive a cinematic release, not an online release. Pilcher’s urging worked: the nominees all willingly removed the films after the February 19th cut-off date for Oscar voting. We see exactly where Pilcher is coming from.
