“My goal is to make design the most loved, understood, and celebrated disciplines of the XXI century.”

Paola Antonelli, Curator of Design, MOMA

Girls Against Boys

Rock Group

Here’s a band you must see perform live at least once in your lifetime.

“Gosford Park”

Film

This film directed by Robert Altman, is another brilliant film from one of our favorite contemporary film makers. Everything from the pacing, the lighting, the acting, and the costumes was simply wonderful. – Hillman

Boardsmag.com

Resource

Recently, whenever I find myself spacing out over lunch I hit this site, for a little rejuvenation. It focuses on commercial production and has a great screening room for animation, commercials and videos.

“Underworld Live : Everything Everything”

DVD

Great motion graphic ideas from the video, which is such a dominant part of Underworld’s live show.

U2

Rock Group

Inspired by a U2 Documentary that I watched on a recent JetBlue flight, I’m now happily rediscovering “The Joshua Tree” and “Achtung Baby.” – Hillman

“East of Eden”

Film

After viewing “East of Eden”, one begins to understand just why poster shops still carry neon-lit, airbrushed prints of James Dean. His performance is genius, and by far my favorite of his three career films. Brilliantly directed by Elia Kazan. – Ian

“Seek”

Non-Fiction Book By Denis Johnson

A marvelous collection of short stories detailing the extreme adventures of a journalist, whose exploits take him from war-torn Somalia, to the religious fervor of a “Bikers For Jesus” convention.

E. Annie Proulx

Author

Cowboys, pariahs, bitter old men, and secretive women populate the work of this unique American author. Definitely read the book, ‘The Shipping News’ before seeing the movie.

Jonathan Demme

Director

I had the opportunity to watch Mr. Demme at work on his latest picture and was amazed at his ability to focus on the big picture, while at the same time embracing the small details. Credits include “Philadelphia”, “Silence of the Lambs”, and “Stop Making Sense”. - Hillman
