Winner of the 2009 Student Made Short Film Festival

The Annual Student-Made Short Film Festival was great this year with 10 submissions ranging from mockumentary to Office spin-off. Of course, it was the "dream" that won the audience's love, and a really big trophy.

The Society of Communication & Aesthetics

If you've been wondering, we are the Society of Communication & Aesthetics based out of Grove City College in Pennsylvania. We are a new organization on campus with one mission: to communicate our ideas through the mediums of art and media that we love the most. So far we have hosted a gallery/concert event and a student-made film festival. This coming academic year, we will be holding even more events and starting an artist residency program.
We are not only an arts related group. We also seek opportunities to mesh aesthetics with communication. This could include journalism, advertising, or public relations.
All of these things are discovered and explored not only through our events but through workshops and speakers.
Please enjoy and get involved!

President of The Society of Communication and Aesthetics

Marky Mark at Churchy Church

The show Entourage has been causing its producer--Mark Wahlberg- some distractions on Sundays. Not because of the flash of camera bulbs but because people have been approaching him in church with story lines and requests to be on the. Wahlberg’s church attendance has become a business meeting and he'd like others to leave him alone when he's worshiping.
He says, " The stuff that I did with my entourage back in the day is stuff that I'm not proud of and I'm asking forgiveness for; I don't want things brought up in church, but, if you go to church in Beverly Hills, those kind of things happen."
Wahlberg has been around for the glory of HBO and M. Night’s first “R” rated movie, back in the day he was recording as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, earning a hit with "Good Vibrations" from the album Music for the People. Maybe fellow church-goers just want to see Marky Mark back in action, can anyone say comeback album?

Rashomon

The 1950 film Rashomon is being remade.
Although there is not a script or director or cast, it's definitely happening, in what is sure to be an awful awful idea.
The remake will take place in modern America, and put the characters' fates into the hand of a court charged with deciding a case involving a woman's rape and her husband's murder.
The original is set in Japan and is a movie that tackled a different kind of story telling with an overarching theme of ethics.
To remake this movie seems silly, as does Beverly Hills Ninja 2 (Hasselhoff appearance), but we are in the age of the remake. The name of the remake will be Rashomon 2010.
The problem with the title is that the only people that will understand its significance don't want the project to happen. It would have been much wiser to create a story inspired or similar to Rashomon, but called something completly different.
I'm just hoping people will see the original before the unveiling of Rashomon 2010.

Holler!

Hello and welcome to G.C. Scene.
We are a group of college students enamored by many mediums of communication.
Most of us are interested in film, while others still enjoy exploring photography, writing, music, fashion, art, and pop culture.
This blog will serve as an avenue for us to share not only with each other and our college community, but with the entire blogosphere.
Different people will be posting (hopefully daily) about cool events, celebrity trainwrecks, and goings on in the art forms we love so dearly.
Enjoy and tell your friends.
