Helvetica
July 30th, 2008
Helvetica is a documentary about, well, Helvetica. That font that is all around us, utterly ubiquitous, completely invisible to the unknowing eye. Is it the mind-numbing tool of Big Brother, or Modernism’s weapon against disorder?
Some people like it and some people hate it, but one thing’s clear: everyone has an opinion.
I personally love using the font as a base for logo design. The letter forms are so geometric and consistent. It reminds me of the creative trance I would get into as a child when I would sit for hours stacking legos together, taking the small pieces and making more and more complex designs. It’s a very comforting feeling.
The director of Helvetica , Gary Hustwit, has another documentary in the works called Objectified about industrial design. I’m excited.

David Drori’s “Sand”
July 26th, 2008
In the summer of 2006 my good friend David Drori set out to make a short film named “Sand”. I was lucky enough to be there to chronicle the experience and to help out with the production.
Sand is probably my favorite video project from our group of friends and probably the most commonly misinterpreted. From the youtube description: “A man initially rejects and eventually yields to his compulsive behavior.”
David was recently accepted into the film program at Syracuse University and will be leaving Bellingham and the apartment we share August 8th. I wish him the best of luck and can’t wait to see the accomplishments that he will surely make.
The terrific score for this film was composed by our friend Daniel Anderson .
