Brooklyn based Ryan Hooks directed, shot and edited this 2:45 film for Anthem Magazine. “The first year in Cannes, and must say I left with such a buzzing feeling. Such passionate people, and inspiring to say the least. As Werner Herzog put it best: “I am not an artist, I just aim to share the wonders of this world.” “
Very well shot and even better editing, really makes me want to go to Cannes.
Great new project from NY/LA based Loyalkaspar: Amnesty International ‘Shine a light’ — A short film celebrating 50 years of Amnesty International Shining a Light on human rights issues through the power of letter writing. Created pro-bono by the Betterment Bureau, a department of Loyalkaspar inc.
Amnesty’s request was for us to help them by creating the opening film for their 50th anniversary conference, and it was precisely the kind of thing the Bureau has been yearning to do. But we knew that pulling off a 3:00 mixed-media film in only our free time wouldn’t be easy. And it wasn’t. Five months of working evenings, weekends and the occasional weekday (graciously donated by Loyalkaspar) pushed the Bureau to its limits and brought out its best.
