Hey computers!
I'm Jen, a 23 year old filmmaker.

In my spare time I run CoolBeans Tees. Check out our store at Skreened:
It’s weird how sports can be supported in totally different ways. Was it Jerry Seinfeld who did that bit about how when you’re supporting a team, you’re really supporting what colours they wear? The people come and go, you don’t really give a shit because you’re a Yankee fan or a Sox fan or a Liverpool fan or a Bradford City fan.
With tennis, it’s a whole different game. (Literally.)
It’s much more about the player, singular, the individual. Was it Venus who said that she feels like she’s surrounded by -novas? The talent of Eastern Europe intimidated her some.
I love tennis because it’s so international; you don’t need a whole team to be world-class, you just need one person.
The best tennis players at the moment are quite widespread. USA has some good uns. In fact, I believe the Williams sisters are perhaps some of the best players to ever grace a court… I get that every time I see them.
I think Federer (Swiss) could be the greatest player ever. This does not give Scot Andy Murray a good outlook at Wimbledon, nor any male, for that matter.
Most English are put off by Andy Murray’s Scottish Nationalist attitude. I think fuck it, he’s British whether he likes it or not.
MURRAY FTW!
You may feel ‘stupid’ for picking up a small paper (a bullshit argument, I might add. That’s like saying you feel stupid for reading Dostoyevsky’s Notes from Underground but smart for reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix).
King Blues by danilo Parra on Vimeo
The King Blues are one of the hardest working acts I’ve come across in my time doing video for the UK music scene. (To say I’ve never shot them, they come up a lot!)
This is a really great video from Brooklyn-based Danilo Parra, getting across their main message from the horse’s mouth and then accentuated with a beautifully shot performance in what I assume is a London subway. Watch all the way through, it gets a bit emotional.
