Get a filmmaking how-to DVD featuring John Sayles by buying 4 issues/1 year of Filmmaker Mag for $18 w/ in the next 48 hours

I just did it; was easy - had some PayPal $s from a donation from a reader of the blog - now I should have the new issue of Filmmaker & a John Sayles filmmaking how-to DVD in my mail box soon. Here's Scott M. from Filmmaker Mag w/ all the details:

"I’m also going to take this opportunity to announce a special subscription offer. If you subscribe online here during the next 48 hours for our low price of $18, your subscription will start with this “25 New Faces” issue, and we’ll also throw in free a special bonus: our first custom DVD, “Making your First Film with John Sayles.” It’s a video of Sayles’s talk at last year’s IFP Filmmaker Conference in which Sayles offers a veritable master class for new filmmakers on the subject.

And for those who subscribed earlier when this DVD was first announced, we really appreciate your patience. The replication process took a bit longer than expected, but the DVDS have been pressed and packaged and all existing orders were mailed out this week first class. If you’ve been waiting for one, you should have it in the next few days. If you haven’t subscribed to Filmmaker yet and have been thinking about it, subscribe now and the DVD will go out immediately and the magazine will arrive mid-July."

Introduce us to your favorite painters & paintings.

There's a PBS (i think) show on French painters right now. Other, older, forms of art, & the people who made them, can be inspirational & useful for filmmakers I think. I've learned a lot from indie rock (some aesthetic stuff, lots of bidness stuff), maybe I can learn stuff from painting too. So in July & August I am going to blog about painters & I would like you to comment & tell us about your favorite painters & other interesting stuff about painting. Painting is thousands of years old. Filmmaking is a little over 100 years old. US Indie filmmaking as we know it is perhaps a little over 50 years old (w/ the beginning somewhere around the time when the Cassavetes generation got its inspiration/started work). Us new indie filmmakers - the digital/web/DIY generation, can probably learn a lot by taking a look at/getting to know, painting & other older art forms. I'll start w/ Edward Hopper .
