The Genius of Baz Luhrmann



I love movies. I love getting sucked into the world that writers, producers, actors, and directors create. There really is nothing like that feeling you get when you walk out of the theatre after seeing a good movie. You feel... clearer.

I've deemed these past two days as Baz Luhrmann Marathon days. I own all of his movies, so I've been watching them while I work. If you are unfamiliar with Baz's work, these titles may remind you:

Strictly Ballroom
William Shakespeare's: Romeo + Juliet
Mouline Rouge!

Anyway, after I finished these movies I decided to research his new movie that is coming out in August called, "Australia."

This brings us to the meat of the post.

Apple has decided that they want to help bring the Baz experience to podcast viewers, so they've started the Set to Screen series on iTunes. Every few weeks, Baz launches a video which documents and gives information on the different processes that go into making a movie.

The series is really inspiring, so I totally recommend you check-check-check it out. (Particularly the one about "On Set Photography"... truly inspiring.)

Peace. - Caleb
