Gus van Sant directs this romantic drama based on a play by Jason
Lew. Teenagers Marcus (Henry Hopper) and Annabel (Mia Wasikowska)
meet at a memorial service under unusual circumstances. After
losing both his parents, Marcus has become a compulsive
funeral-goer who goes through life accompanied by the ghost of a
young Japanese kamikaze pilot from World War Two (Ryo Kase).
Meanwhile, Annabel has been given only six months to live after
being diagnosed with terminal cancer. United by their suffering and
their offbeat outlook on life, the two form a deep and lasting
bond.
Offline Matters is a handbook for anybody experiencing digital
overload in their lives and creative work. "For any creative who
has had to cater to corporate dimwits in order support their art,
here's a terrific guide to bringing your best work into the
commercial sphere without selling out or compromising your craft.
This is a book about how to break free from the data-driven
expectations of your client's spreadsheet, and retrieve the true
novelty that makes you valuable in the first place." - Douglas
Rushkoff, author of Team Human "Offline Matters is a much needed
take-down of the whole 'cult of creativity' from the inside. This
rattle gun attack on the perniciousness of the creative digital
work will leave you aghast and amused in equal measure." - Oli
Mould, author of Against Creativity When did creative work become
so boring? How did 'digital-first' come to dominate everything?
...and why is nobody talking about it? Part insider expose, part
worker-manual, this book is for any creative seeking help on:
Navigating the possibility of offline alternatives Countering
overwork culture, exploitation, and dulled-down ideas Recovering
what you loved about your creative calling ...away from the
confines of our screens. We are dreaming of offline. Not as a
romanticised past, a punishment, a quick detox, or a WiFi-free
cafe. Offline is not a lifestyle. It's a space of opportunity. By
the end of Offline Matters, you'll have a new perspective on the
dry digitality that defines creative work today - and a set of
strategies for going beyond it.
Do you dare to step away from the social media mandate? Are you
ready to challenge yourself beyond the automatic solutions of
creative work today? Can we break from business-as-usual and find
alternative ways of approach? Following the publication of Offline
Matters: The Less-Digital Guide to Creative Work come the first two
decks of the Offline Matters Cards series: Truth or Dare?. Like the
much-loved classic game of Truth or Dare?, these tools are designed
to challenge creative minds into unfamiliar places of thinking.
Whether starting with a problem that needs solving or a blank state
waiting action, the decks bring a fresh take to the task at hand.
Draw a prompt card from each or either pack, then apply the
perspective or action for counter-cultural results. The goal is to
(re)introduce elements of experimentation and play that press
against the dry digitality typical of creative work today.
