MAD MEN Don't Miss Season 3 - Tonight!

I love, love, love this show... It quietly makes it's point about the beginning of the 1960's. It reminds me of how far we've come - women in the workforce, political correctness, nylon's! That said, martinis at lunch look fun :P

This is not a love story. This is a story about love.



500 Days of Summer "An offbeat romantic comedy about a girl (Deschanel) who doesn't believe true love exists, and the young man (Gordon-Levitt) who falls for her." This is a magical little film and a must see for all those tired of the formulaic romantic comedies out this summer. You gotta love when they break the rules... So good!


Since its Sundance debut, (500) Days of Summerhas delighted both moviegoers and critics with its clever approach to "Boy meets girl." The film has been hailed by some critics as "this generation's Annie Hall" and is largely based on writer Scott Neustadter's relationship past.

'Tis the season...

Well, it's Wedding Season... and this little animated video was created by VFS Students:




ABrief Guide About Bridesmaids was created in the Digital Design program at Vancouver Film School by students Yaniv Fridman, Nicolas Alexander and Amber Mackay, working in collaboration with writer Jennica Harper. The piece gained attention right away - even screening at the Cannes Film Festival.

The designers wanted the video to be fun, friendly and unique. Traditional visual style in bridal magazines and sites is high-end photography, but for this production the designers went the other direction. To illustrate and animate the historical moments, they opted for a colorful, stylized retro look inspired by classic toys.

Alan Dessy, president of the Dessy Group, screened the film shortly after it was first released, and forged an alliance with the school and the students to publish this delightful work for Dessy's customers and to the trade in the bridal industry. The piece is timeless and fun, and will be viewed by countless new brides, their friends and family for years to come.
