The Hole - Short Film


Short film about a Brooklyn neighborhood 30 feet below sea level... very interesting. It's almost as if the neighborhood is a stuck in a bit of a time warp.

Art & Copy, A Documentary About Advertising and Creativity


Art & Copy (trailer) is a documentary by Doug Pray about some of the creative men and women behind the most memorable ad campaigns in the history of advertising.

Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), [the documentary] reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising’s “creative revolution” of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for “Just Do It,” “I Love NY,” “Where’s the Beef?,” “Got Milk,” “Think Different”.

Waste Land - Documentary


"Waste Land" is an award winning documentary by director Lucy Walker - An uplifting feature documentary highlighting the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit. Top-selling contemporary artist Vik Muniz takes us on an emotional journey from Jardim Gramacho, the world's largest landfill on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, to the heights of international art stardom. Vic collaborates with the brilliant catadores, pickers of recyclable materials, true Shakespearean characters who live and work in the garbage quoting Machiavelli and showing us how to recycle ourselves.

Océans film documentary

Océans is the work of veteran actor, director and producer Jacques Perrin, who co-wrote and co-produced the movie with sidekick Jacques Cluzaud. The film is a look into the world's seas and the creatures that populate them, carrying an appeal to halt humanity's steady destruction of habitat and species. But Océans is no Jacques Cousteau rehash, and its environmental message, while alarming, doesn't impose the sense of doom central to recent films like Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth or Frenchman Yann Arthus-Bertrand's Home. Instead it seduces the viewer to the maritime cause with awe-inspiring imagery, creating an almost emotional attachment between viewer and cinematic object by bringing the camera into astonishing intimacy with erstwhile unapproachable beings.
