No-budget feature filmmaker Rick Schmidt has written a fascinating memoir, TWELVE DEAD FROGS AND OTHER STORIES, which, he hopes, will "fill in the blanks" on how he learned the tools of the trade and shared them in his seminal how-to, Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices (Viking Penguin, 1988, 1995, 2000). Schmidt's outside the box approach has resulted in the launch of countless moviemaking careers, for those who put his ideas into practice. Some notables include writer/director and action-star Vin Diesel (THE FAST AND FURIOUS, PITCH BLACK, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY), Edward Sanchez (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT), Tom DeCillo (LIVING IN OBLIVION). Academy Award¿ winning cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond declared, "I wish I could have had this book thirty-five years ago, before I made my first low-budget features." And writer/director Kevin Smith (CLERKS, CHASING AMY, DOGMA), presented Schmidt with a Lifetime Achievement Award at Rome international film Festival, which should help explain the book's and Schmidt's wide appeal: https://vimeo.com/161243386 But Schmidt's path to filmmaking was anything but easy or smooth. After his first marriage fails, his artworks, like the large cast aluminum and painted kinetic piece, "I Can't Get it Up For You," reflect his personal life and help kick-start his 'real-life' narratives. The final transition occurs in 1970 when California author ("Ghosts") and videographer Phillip Makanna, invites him, along with Schmidt's future roommate/collaborator Wayne Wang (JOY LUCK CLUB, SMOKE), writer/director William Farley (OF MEN AND ANGELS), actor/producer Willie Boy Walker (THE FIFTH WALL) others, to take his video class. Using the new Sony Porta-Pac camera, Schmidt does work that immediately gains attention. Don't miss chapters on Schmidt's eight-day cross-country hitchhike trip, Joe's Sandwiches, plus his three-year struggle to produce SHOWBOAT 1988-THE REMAKE. Ironies abound, in this touching and informative indie page-turner.

A week later 800 school students came out on strike and marched through the City of London to Trafalgar Square. The 'Stepney Words' poems were reprinted in national newspapers and became famous. The poets were invited to read their poems at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Young Vic, at Poetry International and on radio and television. To celebrate its 10 year anniversary the Shoreditch contemporary art centre Rich Mix, partnered with England's leading performance poetry organisation, Apples and Snakes to run a poetry project with schools in Tower Hamlets and produce this volume of 'Stepney Words III'. Chris Searle together with poets; Caleb Femi, Maria Ferguson, Cecilia Knapp and Talia Randall led workshops with students from George Green's School, Green Spring Academy Shoreditch, Langdon Park School and Morpeth School to explore what has changed in Tower Hamlets since the 1970's and what hasn't. The book has a foreword by Chris Searle and is illustrated with 40 photographs by Ron McCormick, both of whom were involved in the original 1971 publications.

Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, physician, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788-1805), Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision.

"The life insurance industry is on the precipice of a major shift. Just as Uber brought disruption to public car service, a consumer-focused approach is underway to replace the sales-oriented process we know today. Life insurance is the last product in the financial world that needs to come to consumers on their own terms. It drastically calls out for transformation that is built around the customer, not legacy systems of various life insurance companies, arcane paper-based processing, and data that is stale. In Life Insurance 10X we hear from 14 foremost professionals who are helping to usher in that change. Here they share specific processes and tools to make the end-to-end experience "ten times better" (10X) as policyholders search for, obtain and preserve a life insurance policy to safeguard their future and their wealth. An easy read for anyone outside the industry, it shines a light on what to look for (and look out for) yet is packed with real-life examples and specific recommendations to shepherd life insurance into the 21st century."--Back cover.
