WatchA little gem from tonight’s (first-ever) squash videotapage.
I’d post the whole half hour, but I wouldn’t want you to become overly intimidated by the sheer athletic prowess on display by these two ridiculously good-looking athletes.

WatchA cool video showing some behind-the-scenes footage and theory present in a digital-dance-performance-piece called Loopdiver. It was put on by TroikaRanch, the media/dance group of Mark Coniglio, who is the creator of Isadora, which is the software I’m using in my own film project this summer!

WatchSomewhat interesting TED video with mOOt (creator of 4chan) discussing the potential of anonymity online. I get the feeling the guy asking him questions at the end doesn’t really understand.. or at least, still supports a dated cultural model.

WatchHave you seen my latest film?
You can watch it here: http://film.mismith.info/films/mfd (and get more info too)
Interestingly, I dreamed about it last night, had the producer email me about it tonight, and heard two mentions of it in the past two days—which is surprising given I completed it back in January. What’s more, I just realized I started production on it exactly 1 year ago today!
