Spaceship Earthship

Posted on Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 by Jordan

The spaceship was conceived as a way to function in outer space while living in a habitat that continued to sustain life. A truly beautiful concept, right? And while I’m all for space travel, what if we didn’t need to sustain ourselves anywhere but on that most beautiful of planets, the one we call home? [...]

Posted on Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 by Jordan

I discovered Oliver Hodge’s upcoming new release, Garbage Warrior, while picking through the heartsoil of green-themed films for our OFF THE GRID promotional campaign, and I can’t wait for its DVD release.

I found an interesting little short on The Sundance Channel’s “Seduction” series. “Not Pretty, Really”, is a little doc directed by Mark McKinney that focuses on a group of attractive (i’m not sure by whose standards, though) people and their feelings on being pretty. One girl breaks into tears, claiming, “it’s just so hard sometimes.” [...]

An emotional rollercoaster is how one friend described her first impression of attending a film festival, a thought that did occur to me on more than one occasion throughout my journeys on the film festival circuit. Maybe it’s because you’re with a small group of strangers and co-workers, most often situated in a small host [...]
