Make Something!! Web Series Launch
Monday, December 15th, 2008In continuing the films spirit of collaboration, creativity, and inspiraton, Beautiful Losers and Nike Sportswear teamed up this summer to give back to the community with the Make Something!! workshop initiative. Many of the artists from the film (Ed Templeton, Mike Mills, Thomas Campbell) their contemporaries (KAWS, Todd James (REAS), Jose Parla, among others), as well as the filmakers (Aaron Rose, Money Mark, Tobin Yelland, and me Lenny Mesina) taught classes to high school kids in Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami on the D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) aspects of art-making. The web series, which documents workshops in NY and LA, was just released to the public through Nikesportswear.com. As supervising film editor of the series, which was produced and directed by BlackLake Productions, I believe we really made a difference as the kids in the workshops were extremely inventive and clever with the work they created. Here’s a look at one of the webisodes:
