Lord Huron TWO STORIES session coming soon

This past weekend, TIWWI took a journey up to Big Sur to capture another TWO STORIES session with wanderlust mystics, Lord Huron.

Stay tuned for the gorgeous, rain-soaked video coming ever so quickly. In the meantime, check out the band's sounds - you won't regret it.

Join the IN25YEARS Time Capsule!

Last chance to be a part of the IN25YEARS Time Capsule! Departing date for your one-way journey to 25-year long preservation on camera is DEC. 20TH, 2010.

Get your webcam recording, talk to the future you, and then go to www.in25years.com for more information about how you can submit it to the time capsule. There'll be a final send off on New Years Eve, and then twenty-five years from now, an infinitely nostalgic unearthing party where we can all say, "goodness, we were young." (Amongst other more important revelations.)

Check out the TRAILER below!

TWO STORIES session with Jim Hanft + Samantha Yonack

Our first official TWO STORIES session exists in the world! (TWO STORIES sessions are about inviting artists to join us at a unique location and share two stories - one spoken, one performed.)

Check it out, we hope you dig it as much as we do. ON VIMEO. Simply put, it's a great excuse to work with artists we love. This first session featured Los Angeles folk singer/songwriter Jim Hanft with Samantha Yonack. Enjoy - more coming very soon!

SHOW+TELL/WoW 9

As promised - photos and a brief recap of our latest SHOW+TELL (held Sept. 4th). The evening went splendidly - filled with swirling constellations, drinks, time capsules and friendship. Amen. Feel free to check out photos from evening HERE.

With that being said, our next Weekend of Wonderment (9th actually!) is right around the corner - OCT. 2-3 and we're asking you to make something with us. Got an idea for a project you'd like to do and need help? wow@tiwwi.com for more information.

And feel free to click HERE for past WoWs and HERE for answers to all the questions you might have about the process.

TWO STORIES - coming soon

For the last few months we've been dreaming up a new music video series featuring artists we love presented in an original, refreshing way. And because we're story-lovers, it of course had to be motivated by storytelling. TWO STORIES was born from this.

The premise is simple - one artist, two stories. The first story is spoken, the second is performed (via song). And somewhere along the way, we hope this connects us just a bit more with a person we're already connected to. A new insight into their world, and a greater appreciation for theses simple acts of storytelling.


For our first TWO STORIES session, we immediately sought out superfriends Jim Hanft & Samantha Yonack, brought them to the beautiful Bronson Caves in Los Angeles and had a ball. We'll be presenting the full session in the next week or so, but for now - enjoy this little teaser we put together. Hope you dig it.

Special thanks to Pete Gill and our friends that helped capture the moments of a wonderful afternoon.

Something new - UNION

TIWWI's Sam Molleur and Joe Yaeger recently completed this creative endeavor using a poem called "Reunion" written by Joe and an idea by Sam called "backward moment suspension" (clearly full of crap). Check out the video below and more info about the process and such over at Sam's website. Enjoy!

LOST SOULS IN MARFA, TEXAS?

Ah, wonderful phenomena to feast your imaginations on this Wednesday afternoon. Apparently almost every night in Marfa, Texas, these "ghost lights" appear on the horizon in a specific distant location in the small town with a population of just over 2,000. Myths of these observations span all the way back to the mid 19th century, yet scientists still haven't been able to fully explain the origins of these mysterious lights. (Although the Society of Physics Students kind of debunked it, explaining it was merely automobile lights from US route 67.)

Regardless, lots of skeptics and all out defenders of the lights find their own truths in the strange sightings. And that's all that matters I suppose. Check out tons more info about the lights here and here. We'd like to think that the lights are lost souls wandering about the Texas desert. As we used to say a while back..."this looks like a case for TIWWI."

For now, we'll leave you with two videos, one a mini-doc about the Marfa Lights, another of Edward Sharpe and Magnetic Zeros visiting Marfa, Texas. While they don't see any lights, it's still a wonderful vid.

OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!

Made something recently you wish you could share in front of a huge crowd of fellow friends and creators?

Well that's what TIWWI's SHOW+TELLs are now all about. We're opening a new door to allow anyone the opportunity to showcase whatever project they're excited about with all of us.

Send us a link or informative email about your creation and we'll consider it for our upcoming SHOW+TELL! Shoot it on over to hello@tiwwi.com!

Deadline for submissions is:....
MONDAY, AUGUST 9TH!

Questions? Read below...

- What kinds of projects will be considered?
Anything! Whatever your imagination dreams up - whether it's a music video, documentary, art installation, photography, interpretive dance, music performance - count us as interested.


- Does it have to be a "TIWWI" project?
Absolutely not. Our SHOW+TELLs will no longer be exclusively about Weekends of Wonderment or ReVisions or TIWWI based endeavors. Consider this an open invitation to share something to a huge group of wonderful people.


- What if my project isn't finished?
No worries, send us as finished a version as you can. Finished projects will need to be delivered to us by the week of August 28th - we'll keep you informed if we're able to include your creation into the evening's lineup. If it's a video - upload whatever latest cut or teaser of it to a video hosting site and send us the link. If it's anything else - send us an email with visuals so we can get a good idea of what the finished project will entail.


- Will every project be chosen?
We hope so! Depending on the time and space limitations and the amount of submissions we receive, we will be choosing the projects we think best fit our program and best encapsulate the spirit of what we try to do and what we think people will be most excited to see.


- Does it need to be a "premiere"?
Not necessarily. But, as we said before - we'll be selecting the projects we think everyone will be most excited about. With that in mind, if your video already has a million hits on YouTube and everyone + their Mom's dogs have seen it already, we'll probably be less inclined to share it.


- Who do I email about my project?
Boy, you need to read more carefully. No, we kid. Email hello@tiwwi.com !


- What if I've already shown you my project?
Then no worries! We already got it!
