Simian Mobile Disco – Audacity of Huge

Random Acts of Kindness

A message I recieved a few months back that I just came across again. I recieved it on a day that I wasn’t feeling 100%, and I saw that something so simple as another human being I’ve never met, writing to me about a feeling was so inspiring that it turned my mood around completely.

Every time I make a movie I’m hoping to convey a feeling or emotion that I get, something so intangible and abstract. I hope that even if they don’t feel the exact same one, that they at least feel something. I feel like I really succeded with this, and would like to thank everyone involved. Again.

Hello! I recently made a list of the top 25 albums that have defined who I am on my facebook page. M83, obviously, is on the list. I provided youtube links for each band so that people unfamiliar with the music could get their feet wet and sample new music. I actually used your video as the link for m83.

Someone that I went to high school with way back when messaged me on facebook saying that she liked my list and was enjoying getting new music introduced to her. She fell in love with M83’s “We Own the Sky”. All I did was provide a link for her to sample some music. The song…and especially you’re video…did the rest. She absolutely loved your video.

So…thanks for helping me introduce the genius of M83 with your very creative video.

What if

Los Angeles had city squares? Places where people (strangers) collected to think and interact and work. The beach acts in the opposite of a gathering place. People go there to get away and there’s a general annoyance with anyone who sits too close to anyone else’s personal beach space. The idea is to turn off and in no way be close enough to hear conversations or notice the unpleasant bodily details of strangers. Angelenos go to public areas, notably sidewalk brunch cafes, hiking trails in populated canyons, and farmer’s markets, for leisure. The result is that much serious thinking and productivity and general intellectual stimulation takes place privately. This might explain why people in LA are often perceived of as shallow or dense.
