DRAGONSLAYER
Dragonslayer won the Grand Jury Best Doc award at SXSW earlier tonight. He’s a teaser.
From the doc’s official site
Director’s Statement: I met Josh Sandoval at a party in an abandoned airfield off the I-10 in Chino, California. He had a lime-green Mohawk and was wearing a matching Screamers T-shirt, in honor of the L.A. punk band that never recorded an album. He looked malnourished and lost, and claimed he was on 5 tabs of acid. It was impossible to talk to him. His head was lost in the clouds. Then I saw him skate. I think Josh is like a lot of kids from his generation–smart enough to know a potentially bleak future looms and scrambling to figure out a way to survive in it. He’s also on a wavelength all his own.

Bored Couples
I’m a fan of people caught in real moments and especially ones that leave room for interpretation. Martin Parr worked for over a decade to photograph bored couples all of which he had no relationship to. The photos where released in a book in 1993 called Bored Couples.

Mobile Record Store
Jack White’s mobile record store. Crazy stat leads off the vid. Turns out 97% of high school students have never been to a stand alone record store. So Jack and his label The Third Man are taking it to them with their new mobile record store. Like a book mobile but for records.
