Sita Sings the Blues
Posted by marilyn | Filed under Inspirational, Opinions/Reviews, Others
I came across this wonderful animation which weaves three stories with very different graphic styles into one film. Based around the Indian epic the Ramayana, it was designed, animated, written and edited by Nina Paley on her computer at home. As you can imagine for one person, a lot of hard work went into this film and for Nina, it was literally a labour of love (one of the strands of the film is autobiographical).
Sita Sings the Blues is freely available to watch, distribute, copy, share etc. under a Share Alike License.
Check out the film for yourself and enjoy it in the spirit that it was made.

I just read a remarkable post by Paul Isakson entitled “Stuck in the Now.” Here are a few great quotes:
I have a growing concern that much of our always-connected culture has become so caught up in the now that we’re losing valuable lessons from the past and forgetting the importance of having a vision to work towards in the future.
…the rise of social media has spawned new businesses with such a narrow focus on launching and “iterating” that they have no clue where the business is going nor how to make money from it if it takes off.
