Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu – Nike’s "Write The Future" Commercial
I’m not big on football myself (or sock-er, for the cruder American types), but the whole rest of the world is. That having been said, the above commercial for Nike Football‘s “Write The Future” campaign is thrilling. Directed by Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, 21 Grams), it follows several football players in their conquests [...]

We’ve seen excellent fan films before – take The Hunt for Gollum or Dead End (Batman x Alien x Predator) – but this, I don’t know what to think of. Filmmaker Eddie Lebron will be releasing his take on the video game franchise, Mega Man. For those who aren’t aware of the series’ plot line [...]

It’s difficult to believe West Covina-based producer Jordan Elliot (AKA The Kids Are Radioactive) is only the wee age of eighteen.
