At one time, this documentary was getting a lot of buzz. It’s both a fascinating milieu and flawlessly executed. I have an obsession with obscure hobbies that create huge subcultures where the fans would give anything to be Jim Richman for a day, a person who most of us would never hear of if it [...]

The odd documentary, Power of the Witch, was allegedly only screened once in the UK, and examines contemporary occult practitioners. With a considerably trippy, Swinging Sixties slant, it delves into the historical backgrounds of Wicca, Satanism, exorcisms, and black magic.

Ben Young, the man behind Greenwood Yard, has been busy. He is one of the most creative people we have ever had the privilege to share a pitcher of PBR with. He’s recently been releasing video content like wildfire through his site and this particular piece stuck pretty heavy.

This is a really inspiring documentary about the art of the sign writer. If you have a spare 12 minutes and you’re looking for some heart felt inspiration, I strongly recommend watching this.

Having lived in Holland for a few years, this crafted documentary about beachcombers and the museums they’ve created is well worth a look. As they say ‘everything they find has a story’.

People living in my home town of Bedford got really bored of seeing empty shops everywhere, so they decided to set up an art and music festival in them. This is a great little documentary about the festival by Tom B. Wild Productions.

I remember playing Dungeons & Dragons with my brother and god-brothers in a Long Island basement pretty much all through the winter for a good year or so. Scott Weidermeier could have been any one of the four of us if we’d stayed in that dank, dark place any longer. If you’re tired of the [...]

Not only are the origami sculpture pieces shown jaw dropping, but I am mesmerized with Erik Demaine’s theory in which the [...]

Some gents I know are finishing up a documentary on one of my personal inspirations, writer/editor, George Plimpton. The godfather of participatory journalism, he pitched against Willie Mays, tended goal for the Bruins, and ran the floor with Bill Russell and the Celtics, all while editing the Paris Review and maintaining his status as NYC’s [...]

I went to see the documentary Project Nim other day at The Music Box in Chicago. It’s the kind of place that is also playing the director’s cut of The Man Who Fell To Earth on a giant screen. Most movies about talking animals are the dumbest of the dumb. This documentary, about a chimp that was taught to communicate in ASL, is one of the best documentaries I’ve seen.
