Video of the Month
Check out the trailer for Eleanor Ambos Interiors, a short film about a self-described ‘crazy’ interior designer in Long Island who creates spaces and rents out furniture from her spaces. You can see a 3 minute clip from the film on the website, Nowness. The film premiered at SxSW and has a runtime of 16 minutes. I hope I get to see the film in its entirety very soon! It looks great.
In Memoriam
In the last couple of weeks we’ve lost two major figures in film who were masters of technical achievement. They will be sorely missed.
- R.I.P. The Godfather, Manhattan, & Annie Hall Cinematographer Gordon Willis
- Alien concept designer HR Giger dies at 74
