A 21st century ‘swords into ploughshares’ whatsit.

During South Africa’s OppiKoppi festival this August, punters will be able to order beer via their smart phones and have it delivered via parachute from a drone.

The first one is free.

We’re truly living in the future now.

I thought I’d share this little (80 second) short film.  Shot it in Dublin & Bray. It’s a short film about being lost set to a poem by Emily Dickinson.

Among Giants is a short, highly atmospheric multi award-winning mini-doc from Rainhouse Cinema featuring ‘Farmer’, an eco-activist intent on saving an ancient Redwood Grove in California scheduled for logging by ascending to the canopy and building a platform that would eventually became his home for three years.

The soundtrack, composed of ambient forest noises, is wonderful. And there’s a happy ending.
