Watch: 30-Minute Short 'Pull My Daisy' Written By Jack Kerouac & Co-Directed By Robert Frank Robert Frank, one of the most important living photographers, now has a record of his own life in the form of the documentary "Don't Blink: Robert Frank," directed by his long-time editor, Laura Israel. Frank rose to fame with the book "The Americans," a candid outsider's observation of American life that won him comparisons to Alexis de Tocqueville. The photographer also built up 23 directing credits over the course of his career, including three features. The poster for "Don't Blink" is a minimalist representation of the director's work, featuring black and white photographs taped up against a blank wall. The highlights of red tape, the photographer's intense stare in the middle photographs and the unevenness of the composition suggests an intensity and frankness to both the director and his work. Check out an exclusive look at the poster above.

A little while ago I got to participate in a great discussion at Google, centered around Frank Rose's must-read book The Art Of Immersion. Joining Frank and I were Chris Di Cesare, Director of Creative Programming at Google Creative Lab, i Paul Woolmington, Founding Partner of Naked Communications, and Susan Bonds of 42 Entertainment.

Tracking transmedia developments as they unfold will be complicated, in part because this new entertainment format covers so much ground. It is a world “where old and new media collide, where grassroots and corporate media intersect, where the power of the media producer and the power of the media consumer interact in unpredictable ways,” says USC professor Henry Jenkins in his book “Convergence Culture.” To track transmedia, follow the people, suggests author Frank Rose. “The people who are most eager to experiment with new forms of storytelling are for the most part...

Audiences now expect stories to be told in new ways across different platforms, but commissioners often fail to produce compelling 'transmedia' content
Storytelling has always been at the heart of the best media, be it a TV show, a documentary or a game, and there is no doubt that with the expanding choice of technology – from smart mobile phones and tablets to TV sets that have internet connections – we are seeing an ever–increasing convergence of storytelling on different platforms. But as this convergence develops, one of the key questions now confronting the media industry is this: who's in control of this explosion in creativity?
The answer might seem obvious. Surely, it's the commissioners who grant producers the chance to broadcast on their channels. Or maybe it's the producers and directors themselves with the ideas for the programmes or films that have the whip hand? Or perhaps it's the writers who ultimately have control?...

What's cooler than Danny Trejo as a knife-wielding outlaw in Machete? Danny Trejo as a knife-wielding outlaw ... rendered in clay. Frank Rose from Wired sat down with Robert Rodriguez, Danny Trejo, Jamal Henderson (PepsiCo), and Ian Kovalik (Mekanism) to discuss PepsiCo's new claymation ad spots for Lipton Brisk.
[youtube eZkM8tiN65U]
What do creepy, celebrity-voiced clay models have to do the evolution of Brisk as a brand? Brisk has been off the public radar for years now, after all. But what better way to build hype than with their tried-and-true "That's Brisk, Baby!" campaign, but with a new twist? "It just made sense that if we're gonna launch Brisk, let's do it right," Kovalik explains. "Let's do it with something that would be unexpected, subversive." Like Danny Trejo.

So this morning I flew out of Lax double-secret first class Plutonium elite status and finally arrived in Austin where I've now toured my personal accommodations (luxury) and the Stratlandia headquarters at IFC Crossroads house (jacked to the gills with indie dopeness). Now I wanted to give you guys just a taste of some of the cutting-edge Interactive coverage and events we've got lined up for IFC's SXSW Livestream over the next several days (the full schedule with film & music is here).
We'll be adding even more surprise guests, doing some impromptu South By South Best howtutorials, and generally killing it and winning the whole deal. So set your Internet DVR's (I just invented that, don't steal my idea), because I'm getting ready to strat-jack Austin into weblivion. Also, if you miss the Livestreams, check back anyway because we'll be posting the vids separately so they go super viral.
