Where I End And You Begin
Let this Directors’ Duo take you on a whimsical trip around the full range of emotions, to reveal a simple, universal truth: We are all interconnected in joy and in pain and one’s feelings can be felt across the world. A evocative reminder that life is not linear, but a circle. Live and let live my friends.
Bare Artistry
A very interesting read on what the pandemic means for the production sector. It’s undeniable, it’s been hit hard but it may also present an opportunity to study the classics and go back to simpler forms of narrative and creation. Undressed from the -sometimes excessive fluff, adapting and adopting these new restrictions is necessary, but also has a short horizon. Read more here.
Do-over calendar
It’s official. 2020 is cancelled but unfortunately we won’t get our money back. However, it’s not all doom and gloom. This radically revised 2020 calendar courtesy of Christopher Doyle & Co.ntraband acknowledges the current context - hey, since this is a short year, maybe it means that we won’t grow as old as we’d expect to. Make it yours here.

New York Tough
Possibly the only success story in recent American memory is how New York, and mostly New Yorkers, dealt with the lockdown. The New-York Historical Society will be reopening on August 14 with an exhibition mounted outdoors. "Hope Wanted: New York City Under Quarantine" will be installed in the museum’s rear courtyard and will take a look back at NYC's (very) recent, traumatic past. More info can be found here.
