There's so much to say and do in this sixty-year blink we call life! We don't have much time to use what we've been given to conjure up ways to MAGNIFY. I'm thankful for those who've been exemplars to me in the realm of getting on the ball.
Who are the C.S. Lewises and J.R.R. Tolkiens of THIS generation? Are we all a bunch of movie-watchers or are we the legend-makers?
All that to say...
Congratulations to Brannon and all the gang at Portland Studios. Their site is looking better and better. (Go there, or regret it the rest of your blink.)
Posted by joydriven at October 9, 2003 08:38 AM | TrackBackFilm is the medium of the 20-21st century. Not to say writing is dead, oh no, not at all. But the legend makers are the film makers.
Which is why I'm really excited about seeing Mystic River this weekend.
Posted by: JosiahQ at October 9, 2003 09:01 AMThanks, Josiah. I was actually trying to think of some famous illustrators and designers (which would also be relevant to the P.S. vision), but I'm not up on the industry enough to name off the legends in that realm.
I personally have had some exposure to the world of film-making, and some of the folks affiliated with Portland Studios have too if I'm not mistaken (Brannon I know was involved with at least one animated film). I'm pretty taken with multimedia and Web technologies as well, but I definitely see your point.
I just want to use all available media strategically and to the max. Hope all of us find our niches and continue to notch out niches where there were none before.
