» Hollywood Foreign Press gives (another) $75,000 to LACMA for film program

Upstanding US citizens, please note: the National Museum of Patriotism in Atlanta closes this week. But surely there are enough American flag-wavers around to keep this star-spangled monument to Uncle Sam open? Sadly not - the institution, whose jaunty slogan is “Come for a memory, leave with a mission”, is the latest victim of the economic downturn. “Therefore, The National Museum of Patriotism had to answer the call of the new economy to find a new way of doing business. The National Foundation of Patriotism will become a virtual museum online,” according to the museum website. A spokesman told local press that the museum will continue to host special events “relating to patriotism”.
The Midnight Show Opening (Revised)
I recently did a new pass on the opening sequence I made for The Midnight Show (who have a show in NYC later this week that you should attend). It’s still one of my favorite things I’ve ever made, and today I uploaded it to submit it for the Vimeo Awards, so I thought I’d share it with you as well.
I know this isn’t art related (or is it?!?!?!) but I have to brag a little because my boyfriend is really talented.

You have to skip to about 1 minute to get to the actual video part, and the editing isn’t what I would have chosen, but it’s fun to see something that I was a part of in finality.
