Every day dozens of decommissioned school buses leave the United States on a southward migration that carries them to Guatemala, where they are repaired, repainted, and resurrected as the brightly-colored camionetas that bring the vast majority of Guatemalans to work each day. Since 2006, nearly 1,000 camioneta drivers and fare-collectors have been murdered for either refusing or being unable to pay the extortion money demanded by local Guatemalan gangs. LA CAMIONETA follows one such bus on its transformative journey: a journey between North and South, between life and death, and through an unfolding collection of moments, people, and places that serve to quietly remind us of the interconnected worlds in which we live.
Se trata de un hombre llamado JJ Lask, quien ha escrito una novela que ha sido llevada al cine. Los personajes de ficción del libro (que sólo existen en la cabeza de Lask, por supuesto) aparecen en un programa de entrevistas (que también esta sólo en la cabeza de Lask), al igual que los actores contratados para reproducirlos. Al hablar de la película, también cuenta la historia, que vemos en flashbacks; a veces como escenas de la película y a veces como flashbacks reales, con la gente "verdadera", no los actores.

Tristan Patterson, retrata la vida de Skreech y su novia, quienes se dedican a dejar pasar el tiempo bajo el brillante sol californiano apropiándose de cualquier piscina ajena, sin sufrir el más mínimo estupor cuando son pillados por sus propietarios.

In the gig poster community, artists such as Daniel Danger and Jay Ryan prove that creating this artwork is a way of life, more than just a career. These artists are at the forefront of an expansion of the gig poster genre. MONDO's reinvigoration of "the film poster as an art form," and Gallery 1988’s theme based exhibits are only two ways in which this artwork is reaching a greater public. In a community with strong roots, dating back to the 1960s, this expansion is controversial- refreshing to some, sacrilegious to others.
