MILTON GLASER+HILLMAN CURTIS ///

These were a staple of my design “diet” when I was in school. I find it amazing that such things can continue to have great impact even years later. Go check out these Hillman Curtis videos on designers like Paula Scher, Stefan Sagmeister, David Carson and more.

Handsome Donkey

Handsome Donkey is a group of 4 filmmakers based out in L.A. (where else?). I was introduced to some of their short films by a co-worker a few years back who is a cousin of two of the members, Adam and Brendan Countee. It looks like their hard work is paying off because earlier this year they developed a series of shorts called “Squeegees” for ABC.com. Go check them out, they have a bunch of hilarious videos on the Handsome Donkey site too.

Call + Response

Call + Response is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.

Luminaries on the issue such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Nicholas Kristof, and many other prominent political and cultural figures offer first hand account of this 21st century trade. Performances from Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot, members of Nickel Creek and Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Rocco Deluca move this chilling information into inspiration for stopping it.

Music is part of the movement against human slavery. Dr. Cornel West connects the music of the American slave fields to the popular music we listen to today, and offers this connection as a rallying cry for the modern abolitionist movement currently brewing.
