G.U.T. Feeling in Le Monde
Over in Paris I'm happy to share that a portfolio of my on-going project "G.U.T. Feeling" was published in Le Monde's special magazine (July-Sept. issue) to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Order a copy through Le Monde.
"Golden Hour" films now available
About six months ago, the fine folks at Leav commissioned me to do a series of short films for their platform. I'm happy to announce that the project debuted as part of this year's Northern Spark festival and is now available for anyone to experience.
This is a project unlike any other that I've worked on. For one thing, it's totally digital. You have to download the Leav app on your iPhone in order to experience. Secondly, it's site and time specific, meaning, you actually have to visit the locations in Minneapolis where I filmed at the same time I made the films. So, if you want to see the "Golden Hour" film I made in Loring Park, you have to go to Loring park during sunset in order to watch it. There's no other way! I know, kind of frustrating, but also kind of genius.
There are five films total. I encourage you, especially if you live in the Twin Cities and have access to an iPhone, to download Leav, experience "Golden Hour", and check out all the other great projects on Leav while you're at it. Special thanks to Leav and Northern Spark for making this happen.
