Today's post is something really different and I'm very excited about it. About a week ago I was alerted about this video project called Far, a series of eight short films set to music. These films were created by seven students USC's School of Cinematic Arts and another film student from DePaul. The music in the video is from indie rock band Filligar (college kids out of Dartmouth and Hamilton College!), and they were actually the people who connected me to this video. The video they sent to me has six literary references and it is extremely well made. Also, the music is great, I've been watching these videos for a week so I can hear the songs!
They kind of remind of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's. The guys from Filligar have also been nice enough to offer a t-shirt to the first five people who email them five of the six literary references made in this video. I got five of the six so I'm sure all you can too. If you would like to enter this competition please don't leave a comment with the five literary references here, instead email the list to filligar AT gmail DOT com. This should be open until I update the post saying it is closed. You can check out their t-shirts in the Filligar store and if you like Filligar's music then you should check out their Facebook fan page.
