Ira Glass on Storytelling

These videos are excellent. He’s talking specifically about the broadcast world, but it applies to any creative storyteller (writer, photographer, filmmaker, artist). The first three are particularly relevant, the third video is my favorite. Brilliant stuff.

  • Ira Glass is my Hero.
    Thanks for these lessons.
  • Hey.. I like all the three videos... I don't care what place and all.. I liked that..:)
  • Thanks very much. Just to be clear, this site - Tatvam - was designed by George Liang a couple of years ago. And my main blog, Almost As Good As Chocolate, was recently redesigned by MayG.

    I had skinned my Tumblr to look like my main blog and MayG redid Tumblr to look like my main blog when she did the full redesign.

    Thanks for visiting!
  • Hi there,

    This is the wrong place to leave such a comment, however, the seamless website design between the blog, tumblr and other is phenomenal. Kudos to the designer..

Two In The Wave  ★★★½☆

Definitely go see this movie if you are in any way connected to film. It will inspire any writer/director – incredible how much these men achieved at such a young age and how they changed the course of our world. But be aware that it is merely a taste of things, not a fulfilling meal.

Battleship Potemkin  ★★★½☆

Watch this film for the Odessa steps sequence – which is stunning, disturbing and consuming. Watch it for the camera placement and how he builds tension. A must-see for film students it is the first real use of montage in film making.

How to steal a million  ★★★★½

This is a brilliant, witty, feel-good movie that’s deftly directed. I try to watch this movie once each year to laugh and sigh and smile. Like reading an old, familiar, happy book, this movie brings joy, peace and comfort. Audrey Hepburn is at her charming, gamine best. Peter O’Toole is his suave, dashing, debonair self. And the whole movie is just a pure delight to watch.
