Pom Wonderful presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
What I like most about this documentary is Spurlock himself. One scene in the film has him going through a rigorous Q & A session with a brand specialist to come up with his own brand in order to sell himself to the brands he wants to sell the movie to. (make sense?) Anyway, what they come up with is that Spurlock's own brand is Mindful and Playful, and this…
Philly Dining – DANDELION
I was actually in the mood for WARM ROAST BEEF (watercress salad, horseradish mayonnaise, beef gravy, sourdough bread) $12. However, it's more fun to try something more adventurous when sampling a new restaurant, so I went with the DUCK BOLOGNESE (strozzapreti, fried duck egg) $16. This was very savory, only I would not have been able to discern it was duck, it tasted like a very good, lean and tender…
Art of the Garden
I'm working on a Mixed Media Garden Series (click to view a sampling of the series) and was hoping to have more than one piece in the exhibit, but they only chose Fuchsia Garden.

83rd Oscar Wrap Up and Bryn Mawr Film Institute Oscar Party
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor This excellent Oscar ice sculpture greeted the guests at the 3rd Annual Oscar Party and Simulcast at The Bryn Mawr Film Institute. After which you had the choice of mingling in the lobby or mingling upstairs where the silent auction was taking place, and more importantly where a flat screen TV was set to Academy Awards red carpet! As happy as I was to receive…
DIY filmmaking, marketing and distribution w/ Filmmaker Ava DuVernay
I asked Ava how is she able to do all of this while also running her PR firm, she said, yes, she's a little busy, but she has a hybrid staff of really amazing people who work with her on both ends, and she's now super selective about the projects she takes on in terms of media and marketing; her current selection being the film The Help with Viola Davis.…
