I thought it would be nice to draw attention to some things that I love, that I sometimes take for granted. So, this is the first in, what I hope will become, a series of 'In praise of...' videos.
More to come... :)

I love love. And although I cannot give you a definite definition of what love is, I can tell you what love is not. Love is not one thing. It is everything. |

My favorite things are not so easy to define, for they are not simply objects, entities, and possessions. They are, for the most part, what I can only describe as side effects of these thi... |

fallingalice contributed her text record, Vinegar (A Monologue), to the RE: MY FAVORITE THINGS collab. And obviously, I liked it. I still can't predict it, but sometimes certain pieces of writing just make me want to read them aloud. Well done alice!
I'll be curious to see how this might get used to make a little short film or something...
Mottelz had the brilliant idea to do a voiceover-a-day for a month, reading work from the poem every day collab. I am going to shamelessly copy him, because I think this is a great challenge-within-a-challenge, and a really smart way to further remix the wonderful work from the collab.

CALLING ALL ARTISTS: COME MAKE ART w/ US RE: "MY FAVORITE THINGS!"
You may have heard that I wrote and directed the upcoming movie "DON JON." It's a comedy about this guy named Jon who is very into his things - his car, apartment, body, and the women in his life that he treats like objects on a shelf. I want us all to make art regarding the theme "MY FAVORITE THINGS."
For instance, ask yourself: What are your favorite things? Can you truly love a thing? Can people be considered 'things?' Do our favorite things define us?
I've had this movie in my head for so long now, I'm really curious to see what kind of stuff it inspires us to make together.
