H@ppy Friday. This Sunday, 134 years ago, Alexander Graham Bell was granted a patent for the telephone [March 7, 1876 ] The history of the telephone is almost as complicated as today's cell phone plans...minutes, roaming, texting, and long-distance fees apply. In his first ever successful experiment, Bell spoke through the instrument to his assistant, Thomas Watson, in the next room, uttering these famous words: "Mr. Watson -- come here -- I want to see you." Today, every time a new study is released on the number of landlines vs. cell phones in the U.S., the number of people who prefer or rely solely on cell phones creeps up and the number of landlines slips slowly. With this trend pushing the idea of a "home phone" towards the dustbin of history and having us all carry portable-communication-devices on the go, are we more connected with each other? Where are we adjusting, using these digit@living filters? |

Submitted by Predictable But Fun on Wed, 01/06/2010| We are working on a shorter mini tour variation film cut. We thought this will be a great opportunity and also because we really enjoy pain - to create two new tracks that will fit this new condensed version. It is our pleasure to join forces [thank you Dave] with the talented Mark McCray on one of these musical pieces. With Mark's talent, we are playing with a new dance version for our big finale scene! |

| Here is a taste of Mark’s work. This piece is definitely the very opposite of the one we are working on for “Predictable But Fun”, nevertheless, oh so pretty. Have a listen ! |
H@ppy New-Year
Submitted by Grace Shulner on Thu, 12/31/2009| Happy Holidays to the entire world and especially to our team of volunteers, interns, sponsors and friends. Filmmaking in general is a team-sport, while independent filmmaking takes it to a whole new level. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all. The seasons change but some things don’t; although technologies come and go, our need for connections remains constant. |
| Have a “Predictable But Fun” winter season - full of fond memories, gemutlichkeit and chocolate. |

Our Official "Predictable But Fun" Poster!
Submitted by Predictable But Fun on Wed, 12/23/2009| It’s here! Alex Camlin of Da Capo Press fame designed a wonderful poster for "Predictable But Fun". The poster features the film logo with an online-reality-offline-fantasy look. Our favorite part of the poster is Alex’s logo design, which accents so beautifully the film’s technology themes using a social-media design for the film’s title. The poster holds other surprises which will become apparent after watching the movie. | |

| The objective of the film is to engage people in a conversation, and our blog destination is no different. Our major goal is to bring these subject matters of digital-living to life by encouraging a dialog. We want your voice to be included. We’re opening it up for you to love, share, and participate in these topics that change and affect how we connect and the way we interact. |
| As we kick off the holiday season with thanksgiving last week, we want to thank YOU for stopping by. This space is for you and we want you to feel welcomed. We’re serving this introductory information as the turkey and mashed potatoes of sorts to get your appetite going. But we can’t have a full meal on the table for everyone to enjoy without your homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce, and good ole’ pumpkin pie. We want your flavorful feedback! In the spirit of giving, we hope we’ve offered you something to chew on for a while; come again for seconds :) |
