THINKFilm exposed!


iW's Eugene Herhandez has a link to Jamie Stuart's new short, "In Spring," a brief exploration of THINKFilm's New York offices.  What do we learn?
  • The walls of THINKFilm's office are painted bright orange and feature priceless lighting fixtures.
  • They have a copy room where stacks of DVDs are copied for the Chinese.
  • In Stuart's exclusive interview with Gunter Merkwurdigeliebe, THINKFilm Chairman and CEO, Gunther says, "The time of human beings comes like a flickering of light that will go very soon.  It's not sustainable."

Update:


Someone doesn't get the joke.  After the short began to disappear on several other blogs, Stuart finally took it down, replacing it with this messsage:
"In Spring" has been removed by its creator.  There was no legal justification for the request of said removal.  Simply a moral issue (not looking to get anybody fired...)

It is ironic, however, that a film made as an homage to several banned films, "Land Without Bread," in particular, is now being removed from official circulation.

For the time being...
