FILMS Handmade Nation is a film that documents a movement of artists, crafters and designers that imbue traditional handiwork techniques with a punky do-it-yourself spirit. The San Francisco Film Society will be showing the film on March 11, 2009, 7:30 pm at Mezannine.
GRAPHIC DESIGN I remember those awful years when my parents use to drag me to Kumon classes. To this day my arithmetic skill is still horrible. Anyways, I just wanted to comment on their new look. The somber character in their logo is exactly how I felt while answering pages and pages of math problems. Wonder why they didn’t make the little dude more cheerful.

FILMS The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T is the only film written and designed by Dr. Seuss. I haven’t seen the actual movie but I did watch the trailer. It feels very dark and dazzling all at the same time. I would say it’s a mix of Charlie and the Chocolate factory, The Wizard of Oz, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Cirque Du Soleil.
