The Editor’s pick of videos by some awfully talented people. Gnarly and the Nerd Band In case, like me, you’re not one of the several thousand people who have discovered “The Ether and Æther Experiment (of) thereminist and mad scientist, Randy George,” here is a taste of his unusual work. The guy waving his hands […]

Pain by Titus Gee My feet went numb in Bakersfield. I lost the little toes first, then the others one by one. Then the left foot and the right. Night had fallen before I left the office, headed north for a miniature family reunion (more on that in #13). I took the 14 fwy, because […]

The Editor’s pick of videos by some awfully talented people. Frozen in Grand Central RedFence first noticed the folks at Improv Everywhere when they staged a ‘suicide jumper’ on a three foot ledge above a busy street. Their latest stunt, early this month, got them featured just about everywhere, and no wonder.

The Joker is Dead by James Roland Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment less than three hours ago. I can’t believe this. As an artist and a fan, I’m completely numb. The once teeny-bopper heartthrob was found on the floor, surrounded by pills. Unlike two-dimensional Hollywood starlets, Australian-born Ledger showed maturity […]

But Darko DVD sales proved it a financial success and the director’s cut was welcomed back at Cannes with a standing ovation. Southland Tales, Kelly’s second film, was also booed […]

Maybe it’s the perception of danger. People like to tell me stories about motorcycle crashes. Like maybe I just don’t know any better. (I’m a newspaper reporter. I see the CHP reports.) As I walk away, I imagine them ruefully shaking their heads as if to say, “Gotta love his guts, but someday he’ll know better . . . like me.”

No Country for Old Men by James Roland The latest offering from the brothers Coen is so consuming, so thought provoking, so whiz-bang exciting – that it might be best for them to quit while they’re ahead. No Country for Old Men marks a major shift in the Coens’ filmography. From their debut in 1984 […]

I packed no books. I packed no films. This seemed the right thing to do, but the longer I think about it the more it seems . . . odd. Everything we strive to do here at RedFence, all of the films we make and stories we write, even the ethos we cling to as artists, are the first things we abandoned in an emergency.
