reading patti smith’s memoir….so great, so inspiring. really makes me realize that life is short and beautiful and worth taking chances for!

buffalo 66. one of my favorite films. i love the red boots, and on christina ricci, the white stockings and glitter shoes. check out the tap dancing scene in the bowling alley to song, ‘moonchild’. happy sunday. xo, am

before the movie ‘darjeeling limited’ (which btw, is a feast for the eyes and ears) is a short film entitled ‘hotel chevalier’. it’s worth watching. wes anderson’s yellow robed-hotel-relationship movie is a perfect fit with his darjeeling feature. i suggest watching both. i had to post this photo because i am really missing paris. i am missing staying in hotels and the photo is so darn pretty; especially on this crisp, slightly overcast, damp, gorgeous morning in southern california. have a great weekend. au revoir,  xo, am

love these photos. the whimsy, the mustache, the painted faces, the tracksuit and sailor suit. love it all. their music is pretty great too.

SuperChicas, the super cool movie i’m producing is about Super Girls from….the hood! Foxy looking mamas who fight crime with smarts and cleverness and alot of home-grown boldness.

my kind of film! mark romanek’s newest ‘never let me go’ looks so lovely. mark is such a visual director and the storyline is adapted from a book by an amazing writer, kazuo ishiguro, so the marriage of style and story could make for a very, very good movie. we’ll see! i love the muted colors, the wardrobe…and of course the poster! this would be a poster i would choose; intriguing…where are they running to or from? gorgeous..lighting, the pier, muted sunlight peeking through darkness. it’s conceptual…you can’t see anyone’s face or expressions, leaving the audience to form our own interpretation of this moment. let’s hope the film lives up to the pre-release interest!! xo, am  photos: indiewire
