For more than a year I’ve been following the documentary series Everything is a Remix, written and remixed by Kirby Ferguson. I’ve posted all the parts of the series so far and today here they are all compiled in one location for easier viewing. This is a must-see series for anyone who produces creative work.
I am in awe of the amount of work that it clearly took to create this series. I am also highly appreciative of the depth of information presented. If you want further background, including a master list of all the works sampled throughout the series, please visit EverythingIsARemix.info.
If you want to support Kirby, and really we all should, check out his next project This Is Not A Conspiracy Theory at Kickstarter.
PBS Arts: Off Book is a web-based series that explores cutting edge art and the people that make it. The 13 episode series focuses on the process, motivation and meaning of a new generation of artists. For the pass several months we've been following the series. Here are the 13 episodes compiled in one location. Visit the links to the individual posts to find out more about each episode.
When Mike Birbiglia asked This American Life‘s Ira Glass to produce his first feature, Sleepwalk with Me, premiering at Sundance, Glass thought it sounded like it might be fun. “I’d read a couple of scripts, look at a couple of rough cuts,” he remembers thinking.
Glass’s presumption was far from the truth… very far. In this short interview, shot before Sundance while Glass was in the sound studio with Birbiglia, he ponders — hilariously — the job of the producer.
This is great and applies to more than just filmmaking, the life of the producer is hard to explain and understand. When people ask me what it is that I do for a living I always say I'm a creative producer, which is immediately followed by the question "what does that mean?" I find myself trying to explain how I work with really talented people to make concerts, dance, art, branding, marketing, advertising, websites and apps happen, created often from absolutely nothing, which leads to more questions about what it is specifically that I do.
