VIDEO: Vimeo Awards Finalists
NHQ is going to the first-ever Vimeo Festival & Awards, which take place this week (October 8-9) in NYC. The Festival features talks, panels, workshops, and screenings from a wide variety of highly accomplished creatives and media pioneers. The Awards celebrate the best in online video and are juried by the likes of David Lynch, MIA, Fred Seibert, and many, many more. I am totally excited to be attending, I totally was not expecting to until…
NHQ EVENT: Without Wax
Derek tells a lot of stories. Nobody knows which are the jokes, which are the lies, and which are true. It’s the same with his many paintings: who is to say if one is funny or ugly or beautiful? Therein lies the reality: nobody knows for sure. And this is why Derek and his paintings (and his raps, and his blog, and his fortune-telling hotline, and his mail-order hamburgers, and his comics, and his Facebook posts, and his eBay items, and his Craigslist ads) are so appealing to so many different people. Each one is like an inside joke. Or lie. Or revelation.
COMING SOON: Man V. Candy Machine
We’re going to let you guys in on our secret next project that’s been in the works for a few years now. It’s MAN V. CANDY MACHINE, something we are calling an “Internet Tele-Play,” currently in development to be released later this spring. OK, so we may not have James Cameron’s Stereoscopic 3-D cameras or millions of dollars to throw into this production, but what we do have is a highly original and well-written screenplay, a top-notch production staff, and we damn well know how to use a green screen.
VIDEO: Shakira is the New Charo
Over the summer, all of us at the NHQ became obsessed with Charo, née María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Moquiere de les Esperades Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Najosa Rasten. “DANTHE… Jooth ay leetle beet klohther!” was on everybody’s lips, and all of our eyes on her glorious tits. Reading her Wikipedia article was a revelation in and of itself, but YouTubing her rarer appearances made her all the more alluring.
