‘Casa De Carne’: Short Film Explores Restaurant Where Customers Have To Kill Their Own Food

My job as a filmmaker is to raise questions and let people come to their own conclusions.

That’s why I wrote, directed, and edited the short PSA ‘Casa de Carne’ – a film about hard choices and hidden truths. It was produced by the non-profit organization Last Chance for Animals (LCA). Set in a not-so-distant and dark future, three friends must slaughter the animals they order for dinner at a high-end restaurant. It won first place at the 2019 Animal Film Festival.

I’d like this film to make people think and question their everyday reality. Now more than ever, we need stories that expand our circle of empathy and allow us to see the world through a more compassionate lens. It’s easy to use our differences as starting points for conflict: different race, different religion, different country… different species. And yet, we’re all sharing this planet. Our similarities far outweigh our differences.

80+ Nature Art translation Aaron Schuerr

Aaron Schuerr has many descriptions to his name: artist, writer, actor, husband, and father. And while all have a certain distinction to them, one of those connects him to other people on a much deeper level. Art is what Schuerr uses to translate the experiences of nature to other people. "Though painting is largely a solitary endeavor, it is never a lonely one because I am invited to share in the ineffable mystery of beauty," he explains. Schuerr's artwork encapsulates the beauty of nature, portraying various landscapes in vivid colors and combinations. The artist juxtaposes his pieces to the subject which in his work becomes a frame, a perfect background that seamlessly blends with art to create one breathtaking image. "My art is borne out of my struggle to absorb, comprehend, and understand the natural world. I’m overwhelmed, and yet I can’t tear myself away," he details, "and so I paint, so as to stand there for just a little longer." The colorful

Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts Watercolor Artwork Collette J Ellis

I'd love to introduce you to my latest art book which has been over four years in the making. 'Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts' is an illustrated compendium exploring the mythical creatures of Wales, comprised of ink and watercolors. You may have heard of the Red Dragon (Ddraig Goch) featured on the national flag of Wales. Sadly, here in Wales, many of our other beasts are being forgotten. I felt to sad to see that my culture is loosing such an amazing array of creatures and legends that surround them. Therefore, I decided to bring them back to the forefront of Welsh culture and introduce them to a new generation by sharing our rich mythology with the world. I'm so excited about this art book, there's so much contend and so many unique creatures, I hope you will love it too!

Justin Peters: What If Everything You Imagined Could Be Real (New Pics)

Image
I'm Justin Peters, a 22 years old self-taught digital surrealist artist from Germany who merges reality with his own imagination cleverly using Photoshop, since 2016.   "Everything you can imagine is real" by Pablo Picasso is a quote I live by especially when creating my work which is inspired by the world around me and surreal painters. Painting my own dreamworld where everything is possible through the unexpected and unique imagery combinations and photo manipulations using photos I find on the internet. I hope that when people experience my work, they discover a new and different world, which they can dive into to prove that everything is possible when you open your mind. I'll help people engage with their emotions and understand that they can do anything they want to.   More info: jstnptrs.myportfolio.com | Instagram | behance.net   #1 Another Way #2 Moonfall #3 Underforest #4 Surfing Clouds #5 Two Worlds   #6 Eruption Of Joy #7 Eye Sea #8 Moon Balloon #9 Tree G
