Alice For Reals

Just found this gem on my morning blog surf: the world's 1st screen adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland".....over 100 years ago!

This beautiful 35mm B&W was shot only 8 years after the birth of motion picture technology. In the wake of the new Burton "Alice," this is certainly a breath of fresh air. They just don't make 'em like they used to.



Read all about it at BFI, or take a peek at this snippet from YouTube:

"The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials. Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations....

....With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years."

I think this is a great way to keep in touch about upcoming and current projects to recruit people and audiences, generate feedback, and keep the word flowing! I know all of you have your own projects (whether it be film, TV, music or art based) so please, PLEASE keep me updated and I'll add stuff to my post. I can put up videos, pictures, links, whatever. And this way, we're all in the loop and the news gets out.

So don't hesitate to drop me a line. I'll be happy to pass the word along. After all, we're all in this together.

Now go out there and make some art................and stuff.
