A giant stuffed panda goes soul searching in director Adam Neustadter's music video for Michel Cleis' "Hey Lady Luck." Says Neustadter, "What really drew me to this concept was the challenge of making the viewer emotionally connect with this ridiculous panda, I felt if I could make you feel for him, and even relate to him on some level, then it could be pretty special. We tried to play everything as straight as possible, treating it like an honest relationship story, only the dude happens to be a big panda.” Read more here on VideoStatic.

Sofia Coppola on What Drew Her to Tell the Story of 'The Bling Ring'
The Bling Ring director Sofia Coppola talks to Film Society of Lincoln Center about what drew her to tell the true story of Hollywood teenagers who went on a burgling spree of celebrity houses. She says, "I was going on vacation with some friends and read this article by Nancy Jo Slaes in Vanity Fair. I was familiar with the situation, but after reading the quotes from the kids, I thought it had some of the elements that would make for a good movie. I figured someone else was already doing it.

Artist James Turrell on Transforming a Volcano Into an Observatory
Artist James Turrell's work-in-progress is monumental, to say the least: for over 25 years, he has been working on transforming the extinct volcano Roden Crater into a naked-eye observatory. Explains LACMA Director of Artist Initiatives Erin Wright (the producer of a short film on Turrell's project), "Roden Crater is not yet a finished project: it has several completed spaces, but Turrell’s vision is that it should eventually have twenty different spaces in which to view events in the sky. The hope is that enough funds can be raised to complete the lion’s share of project in the near future." Read more and watch Wright's film here on LACMA's blog.
