As long as I can remember I have loved movies and film. Really, all aspects of cinema from making it, to experiencing it. Recently I’ve found myself leaning heavily on the later. I’ve become purely a consumer of this media, and wondering how I’ve lost my way.

Recently I heard an interview on my local NPR station KERA with musician and author Ted Gioa who wrote a book called “The Birth (and death) of Cool“. He talked about trends in culture and the public’s mindset over the past few decades and how there has been a shift recently.

I’m sure we’ve all heard it way too many times lately. The prevailing default reason for something being not-quite up to snuff by most standards. We say, “Well, in this economy have to try to fix things before buying a new one” and “In this economy you have to look for new ways to save.”

A short film by Hillman Curtis (” Sagmeister 08″) a short film about designer Stefan Sagmeister. In so many ways I found this piece to be inspirational and worth sharing.
