hoff

A tribute to the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman by writer/director/editor Caleb Slain featuring clips from every film the actor has done. Slain sez:

Compiling his legacy has been one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever faced as an editor, and yet indescribably rewarding. I can assure you that after 22 years on screen and nearly fifty films, we now look at the work of an actor who never had a single dishonest moment on camera. I know because I’ve seen them all. Please take a breather and raise your glasses to one of our greatest.

The title still was created using 205 head shots from 47 of Hoffman’s films

Big Bird – a young male pelican who arrived at Greystoke Mahale resort in Tanzania injured and separated from his flock.

For four months, staff nursed him back to health until the day he finally took flight again with a GoPro minicam attached to the end of his beak.

Ursula Celano writes;

“When the recession started I was at home with two small children; very unsure about where our country was headed or what work I could do that would let me spend time at home. Since everything was so difficult and likely to fail, I thought that I might as well try to start a business based on the thing I really loved doing which was drawing and sewing: I could at least go off the cliff with a smile on my face. Mostly I design notebooks, greeting cards and textiles.
“My new A5 notebooks [above] are available in seven designs – two of these are based on different lines from the beautiful phrase ‘May the road rise to meet you etc..’ All these notebooks are made in Ireland – €9 euros each and for sale in Ballymaloe, Co Cork, Article, Powerscourt Townhouse Centre and Pen Corner, College Green Dublin. They would make a nice St Patrick’s Day gift for anyone abroad. I have a free shipping offer code for any order over €10 euros for all broadsheet readers till then. Please use code ‘BROADSHEET’.”
