| rantnrave:// I'm a big believer in the middle. Everyone says the middle of the film business is over. It's not. As studios go with bigger and fewer, other platforms and indie filmmakers will pick up the middle and steal it. Quality and efficiently produced films hyper-targeted and distributed to audiences... POKÉMON GO? Popular culture is passing me by. I was just about to get started on flash mobs... SOHO HOUSE is so hip. I think I just saw a Hasidic male model with skinny jeans on a hoverboard...

Happy Birthday to DANY LEVY, GREG BETTINELLI, DAVID BEILINSON, TONYA DEGANCE and CINDY CHARLES. | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
