The material details of the musical instrument larcenies that took place across high schools in south Los Angeles between 2011 and 2013 don’t transpire in filmmaker Alison O’Daniel’s audaciously experimental “The Tuba Thieves.” There’s no thorough investigation into who committed the thefts and why. Instead, she takes a more symbolic approach to look at how the events altered the sonic landscape of the players’ lives and of the places they inhabit. It wouldn’t be a stretch to describe it as an audiovisual anthropological study.
If there’s an actual protagonist in this formally adventurous effort, it’s the synesthetic dance between images and sound (or silence) and how these interactions inform our perception of the world, depending on whether you are a hearing person, someone hard-of-hearing or a deaf individual. These parallel experiences converge in a sensorial examination of Los Angeles built from a lyrically edited barrage of moments.

YouTube vet Tyler Oakley is teaming up with fast food giant McDonald’s on its Where You Want To Be initiative, which provides career help to employees as they weight their next steps within the company or beyond. As part of the initiative, select restaurant workers are partnered with influencers in various fields to shadow them for the day.
Oakley’s mentee was named Kaila (pictured above), who works at the McDonald’s in his hometown of Jackson, Mich. -- the same storefront where Oakley worked as a teenager. Kaila was selected after submitting a video outlining her dream of becoming a social media influencer. Last week, she was given the opportunity to shadow Oakley as he prepped for and recorded his long-running podcast, Psychobabble. Kaila also sat in on production meetings with Oakley’s team, and was able to ask him questions about his career journey thus far.

Emmy award-winning La based filmmaker Sophia Kruz paints a gripping realistic picture of crimes against women with her inspirational feature-length documentary film entitled “Little Stones”. The title comes from suffragist and women’s rights activist Alice Paul’s 1974 quote, “I always feel the movement is a sort of mosaic. Each of us puts in one little stone.” Taking viewers to Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, India and the U.S., the thought-provoking film shows us that some hero women mentors are able to make a difference for those who have been suffering from domestic violence, female genital mutilation and sex trafficking. The film, which was written, produced and directed by Sophia Kruz and co-produced by cinematographer Meena Singh with music by Amritha Vaz, is expertly done and a...
