Adam Gault has done another collaborative self-initiated piece which is just plain amazing. Living and Dying Part 1 is based on a series of paintings by Stefanie Augustine and has a mesmerizing soundtrack by her sister Alison Augustine. As the title suggests, there may be more in this series. I’m looking forward to them.

Paintings for sale here.

Three of the films from PSST! 2 have been selected to screen at the 4th edition of the Pocket Films Festival, organised by the Forum des images, which will take place at the Pompidou Center in Paris from June 13 – 15, 2008. Decompress Still-Life Poem, Sparkle Esperantumor Stimulation and Unreciprocated Surgery Zombie!!! will all be shown at free public screenings.

Bitfilm 2008 is happening in Germany right now.

A few of our participants are up for awards in the FX / MIX category:

Adam Gault: Lantern Fishes
Mixtape Club: Yeasayer

I’m sure they’d appreciate your vote, and there’s a lot of other great work to check out there, too.

PSST’er Stephen Kelleher just updated his site, Frankenstyles. Go check it out. And then you can ask politely if you can hire him.

Santamaria has a new reel out, which is both whimsical and wonderous, short and sweet! They just finished an open for Shopnik and they’re joining us on PSST! 3. Glad to have them aboard.

Ah. It’s springtime. The flowers are growing and the birds are singing. It’s time to dust off the old blog! Here’s a new layout for this site and a new logo for PSST! 3. Enjoy, my chelloveks.

Check out all the links to the PSST!ers down the side over there. Expect some previews and sneak peeks coming shortly. PSST! 3 is happening!

Inspire ’08 is next weekend in Savannah at SCAD. Last year PSST! got the “Movement Award” at the Inspire Awards. Unfortunately we won’t be able to go this year, but it was really a great conference and this year’s looks fantastic, too. With presentations from PES, BNS, Psyop and Digital Kitchen, looks like it’ll be well worth it!

These are some of the folks currently working on PSST! 3. Some familiar names and LOTS of new ones as well. There are 17 films being made right now, all at various stages of “completetion.” Look for the release of PSST! 3 in the Fall.
