Making MIND MY MIND from CinéTé Filmproduktie on Vimeo.

Shortlisted for the 92th Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, Mind My Mind has come a very long way. The first idea originates from 2009, and production started back in 2013.

This making-of includes an in-depth interview with writer/director Floor Adams about the ideas behind the film, early artwork, shot progressions, behind-the-scenes footage of voice actors and foley recordings, and a selection of Floor's personal videos of key moments that happened during the production.

Join us on this trip of 10 years of work that went into the creation of Mind My Mind!

(Note: if you haven't seen the film yet, it is still safe to watch this video - there are no spoilers.)

Spokane has been known for generations as the cultural capital of Washington State. As one of America's original cities, Spokane is the home of some very notable personalities, some of them quite legendary. Spokane has had an interesting and sometimes confusing history. It was originally a fur trade post, which developed into a thriving city in the early days of the nation. The development of railroading and mining helped shape the character of Spokane.

Today, Spokane still has a lot to offer visitors who want to visit one of America's historic cities. The beautiful art museum there, the Spokesman Museum, houses some of the finest collections of art and history that Spokane has to offer. And even though Spokane is the state's largest city, it's still a wonderful place to live. There are plenty of Spokane real estate offerings to consider. From elegant single family homes to sprawling estates, you can find a home in Spokane that suits your lifestyle.

Spokane downtown area has grown rapidly over the years. There is an incredible concentration of restaurants, boutiques, and stores in the downtown area. There is even an exciting new shopping mall, which features a Whole Foods, a Kmart, a movie theater, a fitness center, a spa, and a casino. There are also many public parks in the downtown area, where people of all ages can get out and enjoy the beauty of nature. In addition to Spokane's exciting nightlife, Spokane offers many other recreational opportunities, from boating on the Spokane river, to riding a horseback or ATV, to taking a nature trail or jogging in the mornings.

Spokane's Westwood Boulevard is lined with boutiques and specialty shops, as well as coffee shops and restaurants. One of the newest high traffic streets in Spokane, called Manito Park, is the destination for shoppers and hip hop music lovers. On one side of this street, you will find trendy clothing boutiques, on the other side of it, hip hop clothing shops, organic cafes, and Asian food and drink joints. The best time to visit Spokane is during the spring and summer, when the weather is warm, but not too hot, as you'll find that Spokane has some of the most beautiful and relaxing weather in the country.

If you're looking for a little taste of culture, Spokane has museums and galleries galore. Spokane's first African American community, Spokesman's Island, is open to visitors on several different days. There's also K Spokane, a historic black community just outside of Spokane that is one of the largest historically significant sites in the nation. A number of cultural festivals are held yearly in Spokane, such as the Spokane Blues Festival, the Spokane International Jazz Festival, or the Spokane African-American Film Festival.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Spokane's downtown sprawl has endless possibilities. Sporting venues, golf courses, parks, hiking paths, and bicycling are only some of the recreational options available in downtown Spokane. Sporting events are held at various facilities around the city, including the Spokane Racquet Club, which organizes a major annual event called the Spokane Cup. And the Spokane Philharmonic Orchestra has an annual summer concert at the Spruce Pine Arena.

Not to be overlooked are Spokane's cultural offerings. Spokane is home to a variety of theater companies, art galleries, musical and performing arts organizations, and professional and personal enrichment groups. Spokane's most well-known native son, Spokane native and Spokane rapper Spokane native Tyga, is known for his politically charged music and is well known throughout the region for his political views and his advocacy for issues such as reducing crime and drug treatment. Recently he was featured in a national documentary about the drug war and his role in it. Another locally based artist with an influential following is Spokane photographer and activist Tom Price, known for his street photography and advocacy efforts.

Spokane has always been known as one of America's fastest growing cities, and not without reason. With an abundance of natural resources, the city is home to a wide variety of people from every walk of life, ranging from our military personnel and their families to Spokane Indians and Spokane business owners. Spokane is a town that is easy to become involved with, and where residents and businesses are always willing to lend a helping hand to others. Its hardy culture and strong community will continue to serve as a shining example of what living in Spokane can mean to everyone.

SLAYER // ‘THE REPENTLESS KILLOGY’ IN THEATRES WORLDWIDE NOVEMBER 6TH

SLAYER - Tom Araya, Kerry King, Gary Holt and Paul Bostaph - along with Trafalgar Releasing, Nuclear Blast Records and Prime Zero Productions, are pleased to announce the upcoming release of the new short narrative film and concert, ‘Slayer: The Repentless Killogy’, coming to theatres worldwide for a one-night event on November 6th.  Due to be screened in over 1,500 theatres around the world. Tickets will be on sale starting October 9th at www.slayer.film. Revenge, murder, bloodshed and retribution. ‘The Repentless Killogy’ film was written and directed by BJ McDonnell, who conceived and directed the three brutal music videos - 'You Against You,' 'Repentless,' and 'Pride In Prejudice' - for SLAYER's final studio album ‘Repentless’ (2015).

"When we set out to do these initial three videos," said McDonnell, "our intention was to continue the saga of SLAYER and Wyatt at some point down the line. But this is the band's final album and world tour so this story, the three videos and the ‘Repentless’ live concert at The Forum, is a perfect way to wrap up. This is the end of the monsters." Uncompromising and unmissable, part one of ‘Slayer: The Repentless Killogy’ begins with the powerful short narrative film that brings together the music of SLAYER and the grisly story they wanted to tell. Opening with the trilogy of music videos assembled as one chronological storyline, we are introduced to the narrative's main character Wyatt, a former neo-Nazi associated with a gang known as 'The Hand Brotherhood,' whose signature mark was a bloody handprint left after a murder had taken place. ‘The Repentless Killogy’ stars many of the actors who appeared in the original video series: Jason Trost (Beats Of Rage, Hatchet III) as Wyatt, Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Til Dawn), Richard Speight (Band Of Brothers, Supernatural), Derek Mears (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Jessica Pimentel (Orange Is The New Black), Tyler Mane (X-Men, Halloween II), Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Caroline Williams (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Sharknado 4), and Sean Whalen (Twister, The People Under The Stairs).

Part II of The Repentless Killogy features SLAYER's entire live set performed at the Los Angeles Forum on August 5, 2017 and was directed by Wayne Isham who has directed videos for artists including METALLICA, FOO FIGHTERS, MICHAEL JACKSON, KELLY CLARKSON, and BRITNEY SPEARS. Presented in front of one of the most striking stage productions of the band's career, SLAYER performs fan-favourites, including 'South Of Heaven,' 'War Ensemble,' 'Mandatory Suicide,' 'Dead Skin Mask,' 'Raining Blood,' and 'Angel Of Death.'

Following the global theatrical premiere, on November 8, the film will be available digitally and on Blu-ray, and the soundtrack from that concert will be released as both a two-disc vinyl and two CD packages.

Gerardo Martinez of Nuclear Blast Records said, "When SLAYER, the RSE family, BJ and I were talking about how thrilled we were with the outcome of the three videos from ‘Repentless’, never did we imagine that what we had in our hands was basically this piece of brutality that would end up in movie theaters worldwide. Everything from matching SLAYER's ferocity and heaviness in video form, to expanding into a longer narrative and live show has created the perfect SLAYER atmosphere. We are beyond thrilled to give fans around the world the opportunity to join us on November 6 to witness a pure slab of f*ckin' insanity!"

Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, added, "Trafalgar Releasing are pleased to be collaborating with SLAYER, the team at Nuclear Blast and the RSE Group on the upcoming global cinema release of ‘Slayer: The Repentless Killogy.’ The film expertly demonstrates how SLAYER has become one of the most influential metal bands of the last three decades, bringing together the creative forces of film and music to create a must see on the big screen. We look forward to seeing how fans react when they come together for this unique experience."

2019 has seen a strong year for music releases from Trafalgar Releasing in cinema around the world. Recent successes include ‘Bring The Soul: The Movie’, which became the single largest event cinema release globally, GRATEFUL DEAD's 9th annual meet-up at the movies, Tribeca documentary ‘Between Me And My Mind’ about PHISH frontman, Trey Anastasio, ‘Rush: Cinema Strangiato 2019′ and ‘The Cure: Anniversary 1978-2018 Live in Hyde Park London.’ Today sees the global release of ‘Roger Waters: Us + Them’, which received its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival last month.

Trafalgar Releasing's upcoming music slate also includes Metallica & San Francisco Symphony: S&M², Depeche Mode: SPIRITS In The Forest and Shakira In Concert: El Dorado World Tour. The London based outfit have previously released films including Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams, The Music Center presents Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration, Khalid: Free Spirit, One More Time With Feeling, among others.

‘Slayer: The Repentless Killogy’ will be screened in cinemas around the world on November 6th. Tickets are on-sale from October 9th at slayer.film, where fans can find the most up-to-date information regarding participating theatres and sign up for event alerts.
