Hi, really enjoying your work on elite daily! Wondering where you went to college? Thanks

Thank you! I went to Massachusetts College of Art and Design and majored in Film/Video. It was fine.

During the filming of The Shining, director Stanley Kubrick gave his seventeen-year-old daughter, Vivian, unprecedented access to the set to film a documentary on the making of the movie.

Although her finished film is only thirty-five minutes long, Vivian filmed over eighty hours of footage over the course of production. Most of that footage still exists, and is housed at the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the London College of Communication. Unfortunately, none of it is available to the public for viewing.

This rare sequence of clips, which was broadcast on French television in 1980, offers a tantalizing glimpse into more of Vivian’s footage. None of these clips were used in her finished documentary.

In the first clip. we see the filming of the shot where Jack Nicholson chops down the Caretaker’s Apartment entrance door. The finished shot used in the film contains a series of impeccably operated whip-pans, and this clip shows, for the first time, that it was Stanley Kubrick himself who operated the camera during the shot.

In the second clip, Kubrick, Nicholson and Shelley Duvall watch video playback of the shot where Shelley hysterically reacts to Jack chopping his way into the bathroom. Interestingly, Duvall says “That’s the one…” during a moment in her performance that did, indeed, get used in the finished film.

In the third clip, the crew shoots the low angle shot of Jack leaning against the Pantry door. Camera Operator Kelvin Pike shoots the scene, but Kubrick lays on the floor next to him, using his hand to model and control the fill light which illuminates Jack from below.

In the final clip, Nicholson and Duvall run lines from the Pantry scene at a table on the Kitchen set, discussing the scene with Kubrick.

Relationships go through many stages.

When the “I can’t take my eyes off this person” stage passes, what comes next? Where will things go?

In this episode of “Disconnected,” a couple is stuck without Internet for a night. When you can’t look at Twitter and have to look at the other person’s face, are the feelings you felt when you first looked at him or her still there? Or have they changed?

Starring Lindsay Ames and Barak Hardley Written and Directed by Casey Donahue, Produced by Elisha Yaffe, Cinematography by Nate Cornett, Sound Mixed by Kile Stumbo, Assistant Camera by Chase DuBose, Production Assistance from Jess Lane.

Your skin sends all the sunlight back to hell And you shine in the coming darkness and I guess it's just as well That there's no one left.  There's no one left at all. And then the hils behind your eyes  Start burning like a solid wall Of licking flames.

I have been makig deeply personal work which I will share with everyone soon but I have shifted gears to work on something different which will look like this sounds.

[caseydonahue]

And I started to say "fine," and I meant to say "fine," but I ended up saying that I felt my life was filled like a big jug to the brim with almost indescribable joy, so much that I hardly knew how to handle it. That was how I put it, what I said: "I feel like my life is filled," and then all the rest of it, one big exhale. I am not an eloquent person, and I was surprised to hear myself talking like that, but only a little surprised, because it was exactly the feeling I had in my heart.
