La Verdad, directed by Juan Delcan and commissioned by Chilevision, is a few months old but well worth going back to. It is a soulful exploration of the many truths embedded in the human psyche. (A subtitled version can be seen on the Nola Pictures vimeo page.) November 27, 2011

Passion Pictures signs Buenos Aires bases, Cinco, for North American and European representation.
Directing Duo : Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan aka DANIELS, just released a music video for an FM Belfast track titled Underwear.
“And all you need to make a music video are some friends and $40 of thrift store clothing.”
It features people dancing alone, sometimes in their underwear, sometimes a bit ugly, yet always confident. A very clever edit, the video plays with variable speeds and retiming to create a creepy feeling, along with several clever tricks including time displacement, match cuts, and puppeteering underwear. We asked the directing duo to do a Q&A, and they sent over this pretty funny interview with themselves.
Also provided is a behind the scenes video, be sure to check it out.
Time Magazine covers Hollywood’s VFX Sweatshops
Rebecca Keegan, the author of a biography on James Cameron, The Futurist, and also a Variety and Time magazine correspondent, writes a mainstream media article that’s thin on any new substance but covers the main ideas behind the VFX Fairness debate for Time Magazine. Read the whole piece here.
“Fundamentally, visual effects is a crappy business,” James Cameron told me … “You don’t make much of a margin. A good year for us was 5%. Sure, we were doing huge volume but at a low margin.”
Also listen to a podcast of an interview Rebecca Keegan on her James Cameron biography with Lee Stranahan here. VFX issues start around the 13 minute mark.
