December 15, 2011   Infobitz   No comments

Campfire, a new DIY Exhibitor and moviegoer destination in Hollywood, gains industry support with Breaking Glass Pictures pact.

PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles, CA (Dec. 14, 2011) Campfire, an upstart exhibitor based in Los Angeles, has received a commitment to screen four new films from Breaking Glass Pictures during Q1 2012. The indie distributor, which had a November national release with the Cam Gigandet romcom “Five Star Day,” has January releases scheduled for the  “Bollywood Beatz” and “The Summer of Massacre”.  Films will play exclusive runs at Campfire, which is in residence next door to the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.

“We’re very impressed and excited to work with Campfire, and support a new screen for indie cinema.  They have a gung-ho DIY focus, which is attractive to us and an outlet we want to be in business with.   We want to show our movies with exhibitors that understand the need for us to facilitate cross-platform releases.” said Richard Wolff, Breaking Glass CEO & Co-Founder.

“Our mission is to offer theatrical runs for distributors and filmmakers.  We love the moviegoing experience.” says Christian Meoli, the managing director of Campfire. “We see a market for micro and niche films, while maintaining standards. What the Polish brothers did with “For Lovers Only” was amazing,  but I don’t want to see all indies released on VOD.  The theatrical avenue has to be maintained. The time has come where a more affordable model for exhibition is getting created.  That’s Campfire.”

Campfire is actively in the phase of building a domestic exhibitor collective, with the plan to have six additional screens up and running in three markets by Summer 2012.

ABOUT CAMPFIRE:

CAMPFIRE is a new DIY Exhibitor for Indie Cinema.  It is an exhibitor arm to Cabaret Voltaire, Inc. founded and led by Christian Meoli, Campfire’s mission is to continue the moviegoing experience and maintain the theatrical avenue as a viable presentation for indies.

Alien Skull Found In Peru

November 24, 2011   Infobitz   No comments

Anthropologists have discovered what some deem an “alien skull” in the heart of Peru.

The strangely shaped head, almost as big as its 50cm body, has baffled anthropologists. Three anthropologists from Spain and Russia inspected the skull last week. Each of them agreed it was not a human being and decided to conduct further studies.

“It has a non-human appearance because the head is triangular and big, almost the same size as the body. At first we believed it to be a child’s body until Spanish and Russian doctors came and confirmed that, yes, it’s an extraterrestrial being.”

The skull features a soft spot called an open fontanelle, which is usually only seen in babies during their first year of life. But scientists also found two large molars in its mouth, which are only found in much older humans. Experts hope to use DNA  to conclude if the skull is from human origin.

The skeletal sets were discovered by Renato Davila Riquelme, who works for the Privado Ritos Andinos museum in Cusco in south-eastern Peru.

Libyan official: Moammar Gadhafi is dead

October 20, 2011   Infobitz   No comments

Moammar Gadhafi, who ruled Libya with a dictatorial grip for 42 years until he was ousted by rebels in a bloody civil war, was killed today when revolutionary forces overwhelmed his hometown in Sirte.

The tyrant who ruled his country with an iron fist and much of the world during despotic rule was cornered by insurgents in the town of Sirte, where Gadhafi had been born and a stronghold of his supporters.

The National Transition Council said that its fighters found and shot Gadhafi  which finally fell to the rebels today after weeks of tough fighting. The word of Gadhafi’s death triggered celebrations in the streets of Tripoli with insurgent fighters waving their weapons and dancing jubilantly.

Al-Jazeera TV showed footage of the 69-year-old Moammar Gadhafi lying dead and severely wounded, bleeding from the head and stripped to the waist as fighters rolled him over on the pavement. Witnesses said his body was put on display in the nearby city of Misrata.

Moammar Gadhafi had been on the run for weeks after being chased out of the capital Tripoli by NATO bombers and Libyan rebel troops. He had been believed to be hiding in the vast desert while calling on his supporters to rise up and sweep the rebel away, but his once fearsome power was mocked at by Libyans who had ransacked his palace compound and hounded him into hiding.

The mercurial leader came to power in a bloodless coup against King Idris in 1969, when he was just an army captain. By the end of his rule, he claimed to be “King of Kings,” a title he had a gathering of tribal leaders grant him in 2008. But in February uprising evolved into civil war that resulted in ousting the strongman from power.

“We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today,” Apple’s Board of Directors said Wednesday in a statement. “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.”

Steve Jobs is the Apple co-founder who resigned from the company in the mid-1980s and returned to make Apple one of the most successful technology companies in the world.

Jobs had been struggling with his health for the last several years.In 2004, Jobs had battled cancer and underwent a liver transplant in 2009 after taking a leave of absence for unspecified health problems. He took another leave of absence in January — his third since his health problems began. On August 24th, 2011, Steve Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple, saying,

 ”I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

 I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.”

 The man who reshaped the tech industry

Steve Jobs helped change computers from a geeky hobbyist’s obsession to a necessity of modern life at work, school, home, and in the process he upended not just personal technology but the cellphone and music industries.

To take good photos the first thing to remember is this: It’s the photographer that takes great photos, not the camera. Perhaps we’ve been taking photos using our digital cameras for some time, but never really got the beautiful shots we wanted. Here are some tips that might help you to shoot like a pro.

1. Know the Camera

If you buy a digital camera, your main responsibility is to understand its ins and outs. Learn how to use different camera modes, how to control exposure, and how to use the flash. The knowledge you gain about the camera will be invaluable when you’re out in the field taking those special photos.

2. Hold the Camera Level
A basic rule of photography is to hold the camera level. Since most digital cameras come with a LCD, you can use it to properly frame your shots. Next time you’re taking a shot, try to look for the horizontal lines and use them as guides. A good example is to make use of the horizon when you’re taking a photo of a sunset.
