By Sean

Found this and just had to post it. If I was a talented illustrator/graphic designer I think I would dedicate my entire career to drawing Daft Punk. The rest of Gianluca Fallone’s work is pretty cool too, check it… »

MJ Chopped & Screwed

By Sean

The King’s birthday is coming up tomorrow and I thought I’d kick off the MIFG festivities by recommending you check out a few of the thousands of MJ chopped and screwed remixes.

In fact, behind India’s Bollywood and beating out America’s Hollywood, Nigeria’s Nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world, in terms of number of films produced per year.

Welcome to the Indie Film Revolution

By Addie

Somewhere in between the flashy big budget prequels, sequels, trilogies and epic tales we call “Summer Blockbusters” there are some really great movies that everybody should really see.
And that’s where B-Side comes in. A company based solely on the idea that “there are thousands of great movies made every year that never get the chance… »
