An inspiring portrait of Brian Schroeder, founder of indoor skate park Green Bay Action Sports Organization (GBASO).

A fun look at Los Angeles-based stylist Shirley Kurata and how her own personal uniform has caught on among her friends and fans. Directed by photography duo, and longtime Kurata collaborators, Julia Galdo and Cody Cloud (aka photography JUCO).

Written and directed by filmmaker Chell Stephen of Think/Feel, “You’re Alight, You’re Okay” follows a quietly angry woman as she tries to adopt the wisdom of a useless meditation app.

A raw exploration of modern youth culture by UK-based filmmaker Matthew Sterling (previously featured here). Set to the track “So” by Alice Jemima, “Urban Youth” was created for Straight 8, which dictated that the entire film be shot on one super 8mm cartridge with only in-camera edits and no post-production, meaning that Sterling’s short was processed and entered into the competition without his having seen a single frame!

This video is just one of the many creative submissions we’ve received in the past week. Consider participating here if you have a project you’d like us to check out.

Video for King Krule’s track “Czech One” directed by Frank Lebon and produced by Nat Baring. Some really great shots in the later parts of this one!

“Special thanks to you fearless dancers. Your dancing has not only inspired us, but your moves have inspired a movement which will hopefully help to disrupt the growing feeling of separation among us.”

If this video inspired you, here’s an opportunity to be a part of global movement! Starting September 5th J.Views and Global Citizen are inviting people to record themselves dancing in public spaces! Videos shared with the #WeMove hashtag will be collected and the most creative videos will be played on the main stage at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City, in front of 60,000 people. The campaign is not about raising money it’s about making the world move for positive change. Watch the video below!

Lovely portrait of miniaturist Ali Alamedy by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Veena Rao (previously featured here). “Rebuilding in Miniature” offers a first-hand look at the incredible amount of work that goes into making just a small piece of Alamedy’s scenes, as well as the artist’s reflections on how his personal sense of ‘home’ has changed after being forced to flee Iraq and seek asylum in Turkey.
