Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Brillante Mendoza is in GR53. I met him at the SFIAAFF. He’s a great guy, totally nice and I made the screening of one of his films that I wanted to see even though I really had no time. I saw him a moment before the screening, he gave me a pound and went up and intro’d his film and said something like, he was happy that some of his new friends made it to the show. His latest film Serbis was part of the competition at Cannes. It got panned by the media, but it’s the first film from the Philippines in 24 years. This film is probably harsh in some way showing the differences between the wealthy and poor in Manilla. The film is almost 5 hours long. Read more on ABS CBN.

The speakers series has begun. That’s Nick Barham in the middle. He took care of business. Along with Mr John Jay who set it up. They also gave me a great looking Perk book. This is a better view, you can see how their office is set up. It’s three floors in a warehouse that has a lot of concrete. It’s definitely a creative only atmosphere and they’re tearing shit up in Shanghai and Beijing. Photos taken by the house photographer. I saw you taking pics. Thanks much.

Ken Tanaka emailed me and said he saw the Jade Foods article in Giant Robot and then went to Hawaii and checked it out for himself. So check out the video and enjoy. If you have a bag of seed, you should bust it open and enjoy. Either way, glad to see GR is being used wisely for it's editorial prowess. Ken Tanaka is one of the funnier persons on YouTube, glad he went from searching for his parents...
