SXSW Guidelines For Meeting Me - 1938 Media

so, i’ve never been to sxsw.  i’m sure if i really wanted to go - i could find a reason to get down there.  maybe b/c the opportunity hasn’t smacked me in the face, i’m a bit of a cynic.  so much noise that any real biz opportunity is probably muted.

anyway, loren’s being both funny and pretty practical here.  i’d much rather have a unique relationship with someone than try to fly to texas and sandblast a bunch of people just like me with stuff that might not matter.

wow, again.

MoMA Celebrates Appalachian Filmmakers - WNYC Culture

That tension of holding the camera while living in the community is at the center of all Appalshop films. Appalshop filmmakers shoot, edit, release, and then, they stay. Relationships change and stories develop around them. “If I do something here, and I think it’s beautiful, but then someone from here sees it and thinks I’ve exploited us, then I have to live with that person,” says Willa Johnson, a 24 year-old Kentucky native and Appalshop filmmaker. “I have to see them everyday and for them to think I don’t love this area.”

Stuck.

me, trying to be a tough guy.

Search for the ultimate espresso: a video with Kyle of Intelligentsia Coffee

maybe one reason i enjoy espresso so much is the process in which it’s made.  quick, violent and desperately precise.  people are constantly amazed when i tell them it has less caffeine than regular drip coffee.  there is an astounding disconnect between flavor and preparation in this country.
