Chasing Corita

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

So as we’re finishing up the Sister Corita film for Friday’s premiere, wouldn’t you know it but other people have caught the same Corita fever we’ve got. Ralph Caplan, who was a friend of Sister Corita in the 60’s and AIGA senior writer, just last week wrote this nice article about his introduction to Corita and their subsequent meetings in New York and Los Angles. A quick read. (Thanks to Gelatobabyhead!)

And since I haven’t had much time for anything else except finishing the film (and not sleeping), I just now found out who won what Grammy this past Sunday. And although the Grammys may not be as relevant as they used to be, I was happy to hear that Adele (whose “Chasing Pavements” music video was the lone video I edited last year) won 2 Grammys as a virtual unknown artist. I finished the cut, which was directed by the talented Matt Cullen of Motion Theory, almost exactly a year ago today when pretty much the entire world-myself included-knew nothing about this young English soul singer. Needless to say, the newly minted “Best New Artist” and “Best Female Pop Performer” has come a long way since then. Check Adele chasing pavements here:
