What if Annie Leibovitz was a psyhic caught in a slasher pic?

You would get "Eyes of Laura Mars" (1978)Set in late 70's New York City, Laura Mars is tense, outragously stylish murder mystery starring Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones. Fashion photographer Laura Mars (Dunaway)is the rising star of chic. Growing in infamy and notoriety for her sexualized depictions of violence.

Mars' glamorous world of double popped collars and pouty fuchsia lips collides suddenly with savagery. When her increasingly vivid artistic visions begin to fortell the murders of her dearest friends. She struggles to understand what she is forced to see through a killers eyes -- before it is too late.

Love it!!!

Check out the opening song. Sung by Barbara Streisand, and it can't hurt that it features photography by Helmut Newton and is the first studio feature written by John Carpenter.

Happy MLK Day

“Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. It is a sword that heals. [It] cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.”

Tour De Nez - 2010

Here is a promotional video for the cycling race Tour De Nez (pronounced Nay, you know like French for nose). I was one of the motorcycle camera operators for the show that was on Versus in 2009. It was pretty fun. It's good to know they are back on for 2010. Some of the footage I shot last year is used in the promo for this year.

MOVIE TO WATCH: Treeless Mountain (Korean - 2008)

If a clear border between documentary and narrative movies exists. I think it lies between the fictional film Treeless Mountain and the documentary The Story of the Weeping Camel. Both of these films unfold quietly and delicately at their own pace.

The world of Treeless Mountain is so enveloping and complete, and the are scenes so precisely selected. It manages to use mood, delicate as a leaf's skeleton, as the storytelling engine of the movie. Which is a nearly impossible task to accomplish or explain.

Here is the director So Young Kim talking a little bit about the making of the movie:

Townhall on the state of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health in California

Here is the internet video series I have cut together from California Assemblymember Mike Eng's November 18th, 2009 townhall meeting on the state of mental health in the AANHPI community in California. This townhall is a continuation of the work that Assemblymember Eng has been doing to help disaggregate data on Asian and Pacific Islander sub-groubs.

This is an album of some of Mike Eng's opening comments, a few community members, and excerpts from all of the panel members who spoke that day.
