"Kaboom" is a candy-coated color-blasted appeal to the senses as loud and cartoonish as its title. A frenetically paced sci-fi sex romp (yes sci-fi sex romp), the film is centered around a group of impossibly pretty teens and their college escapades. Throw in some magic cookie dust and whirling dervish cinematography, and you get something that feels like MTV's Skins ate Alice's mushrooms.

Gabrielle Lindau

 I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely and talented filmmaker/director Gabrielle Lindau. An openly queer artist, Gabrielle's projects frequently deal with LGBT issues and themes. Her short film, These Showers can Talk, which premiered in August, is a comedic take on the world of lesbian liaisons, stereotypes, and dating. The official movie release for the film was covered by Go Magazine and girlnationnyc. Gabrielle also directed Lori Michaels in "The Right", a music video for Lori Michaels Productions and Reach Out, Inc., a non-profit organization. She officially joined Reach Out, Inc. as a spokesperson for the nationwide marriage equality campaign, "i want the RIGHT", prior to its launch on February 14, 2010.

Gabrielle's latest endeavor, Who You Are, is a feature length film which tackles the recent homophobic backlash which has been occurring worldwide. The film introduces a serious dialogue about hate crimes against the international LGBT community, and what must be done to stop them.

 I finally saw Avatar. I am pleased to say I learned a lot of lessons that I'm glad are being passed on to children all over the world:

Maya Erdelyi-Perez

From ice sculpting at the Ice Hotel in the Arctic to staging renegade fashion shows in the Paris subway system, the life of New York born artist Maya Erdelyi-Perez is not unlike one of her own surreal animated films.  On the eve of shooting a new music video, Maya chats with me about illegal subway spectacles, collaborating with band No Surrender and Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio and her upcoming exhibit this Saturday night.
