Fixed City
Fixed City is a documentary that offers a snapshot of the fixed gear culture as of 2009 in Germany. Looks like a German premiere is currently scheduled for mid August… not sure when this will be hitting the states.

Objectified
As many of you may already know, Gary Hustwit just premiered his second design related documentary, Objectified. After seeing Helvetica (first film), it was without question that Objectified would, at a minimum, ask some really interesting questions around the topic and position itself in a way that it could openly inspire conversation. The film speaks directly to the relationship between manufactured objects and the people that create them. In some way, it had a lot of correspondence with how I feel about the work I do and even the decisions I have to make outside of “the office.” Overall, and maybe unintentionally, I think the film spoke most effectively to the modernized concern of necessity and the role some of these objects play in our lives. Its really kind of an interesting way to view the role of a designer when taking into consideration the responsibility as a median between those who want stuff, and those who attempt to provide it. Check out the Objectified site for list of those interviewed, a trailer and premier locations.
Thru You
A rad little video mash-up made with Youtube clips. I’m sure this has been smeared all over the web already, but it’s still worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
KAWS
I’ve noticed quite a bit about KAWS has been popping up on the web lately. Not that it’s bad, actually it’s pretty awesome. He seems to have been staying pretty busy with projects in multiple mediums, all of which have been pretty amazing. This is just another example of what happens when you stay focused and get shit done.
Move
Bangin new track from Mims, directed by the creative genius / assassin Keith Schofield. This song makes me want to get up and make things.

Ross Richardson
I was out in LA last week on a photo and video shoot capturing some footage for a project that I’m currently in the midst of over at F/. Handling the video was Ross Richardson (Reel above ^). He was solid and super fun to work with. Ross was using a Red camera package, the rough footage looks super clean.

Which was a little intense… but provided a decent spot for slumber.
My Playground
Check out this trailer for what seems to be an amazing Parkour film called My Playground. Shot in Copenhagen and filmed at, in and around some outstanding architecture. Via: Kitsunenoir Blog

Meet the Beckers?
Just stumbled across this… I don’t know a whole lot about what is going on over at www.meetthebeckers.com, but I do know this… I have an undeniable urge to rock a blue tooth while driving a beamer! Sounds about as fun as a pair of khaki’s… eh!!!
The Collectors
A Rotofugi commercial of sorts, amazing.
