Kumaré
03/16/11
Our very own Leslie Yoon just returned from SXSW after celebrating the premiere of a documentary she associate produced called Kumaré, which just received the festival's Audience Award!
The film is about an enlightened guru, Kumaré, from the East who builds a following of disciples in the West. But Kumaré is not real. He is an American filmmaker named Vikram Gandhi, who has transformed himself into Kumaré as the centerpiece of a social experiment designed to explore and test one of the world's most sacred taboos. Concealing his true identity from all he meets, Kumaré forges profound, spiritual connections with real people from all walks of life. At the same time, in the absurdity of living as an entirely different person, Vikram the filmmaker is forced to confront difficult questions about his own identity. At the height of his popularity he reveals his greatest teaching: his true self. A playful yet genuine and insightful look at belief and spirituality, the film crosses a line few have dared to cross, all to discover: from illusion comes truth.
If you happen to be in Austin, Kumaré is playing one more time on Friday at 11AM at the Alamo Lamar C. Check out more about the film here!

C&E editor, Allen Cordell, just directed a crazy, new music video for Cloud Nothing's "Understand At All." As Allen puts it, "I always wanted to have someone transform into a chair. This was the perfect opportunity for that." Watch the transformation here!
Lysol

Germs got ya down? Us too. We've passed around a lot of Emergen-c in this office. And Lysol wipes, just like our friends over at Nick Jr. Check out the cold-fighting spot we produced for them, and remember, Staten Island groundhog "Chuck" predicted an early spring this year!
The Gentleman’s Directory
02/02/11
Did you know that former residents of C&E's office space used to run brothels? Well, sort of. According to a recent NY Times article, the once secret "The Gentleman's Directory" was a guide to NYC's 19th century houses of prostitution. Published in 1870, this little black book lists almost 150 establishments to avoid because of their iniquitous operations. 22 of these houses were located on 27th street, then called Satan's Circus. Our neighbor at 108 W. 27th used to cater to those with a fetish for frescoes and furnishings. But, if you're trying to get your hands on this highly detailed book now, you can't. It's under lock and key at the New York Historical Society. But who needs a book when we've got Craigslist personals?
