Nick Antosca’s second novel: Midnight Picnic
Nick Antosca’s second novel, Midnight Picnic, is an ethereal slow burn. The book takes place in an after-life loosely resembling the American wasteland of desolate highway culture. The plot is a revenge fantasy trapped in some netherworld between night and dusk. Parts of it read like the imagery of a Bill Henson photo.

Luis: a breathtaking stop-motion animation
Luis is by Niles Atallah, Cristobal Leon and Joaquin Cociña and is by far one of the most breathtaking uses of stop-motion animation. Luis is the second short video of the series, Lucía, Luis y el lobo, (”Lucía, Luis and the Wolf”). The video captures the menacing visuals of a childhood nightmare where shadows on the walls turn into spooky characters and haunted forests.
Crossbow: short film written and directed by David Michôd
Prior to his feature length debut, Animal Kingdom, David Michôd wrote and directed Crossbow, one of my favorite short films of all time: ‘A kid. His mum and dad. The sex and drugs. And the boy next door who watched the whole thing unravel’. Crossbow is a nervy coming of age, with one of the most inspiring final moments I’ve ever seen.

The Australian film collective behind the sci-fi spoof, The Time That Time Forgot, perfectly capture the look and feel of awkward, low-budget rip-offs from the ’70s — the psychedelic lighting, bad dubbing, and amazing hair. One almost wishes Italian Spiderman was for real. [more about Italian Spiderman]

I don’t know a lot about The Sugars but I like what they do. Their sound is quite rockabilly but quite modern — like White Stripes. They put out a couple of indie singles and I’d really like to find some time to work with them.
I don’t know if it’s the name, the relaxed look, or the attitude that just don’t sit too well with authority, but something about New York based label Sophomore has got us reminiscing about the good old days. Their current collection has boys and girls getting back-to-basics. Think jersey sweats and loose tees, mixed with yoke necks, caplet sleeves and tapered waists. And you know what that means? The search for the perfect white tee and the ultimate summer singlet is over. If that’s not enough to get you inspired, pull out your denim, pop on some 1970s vintage Jodie Foster, and get ready to channel some Lower East Side cred.
