Mark Pellington's pioneering influence on music videos as a modality to convey emotion, story and feeling will never be forgotten. From Leonard Cohen to Linkin Park, Michael Jackson to Public Enemy, Foo Fighters and Alice in Chains to Chelsea Wolfe and Bruce Springsteen, MP had penultimate foresight in constructing some of the most memorable portraits of love, war, loss, spirit and activism. His feature films each brought a tenet to the medium of storytelling. From 1997's Going All The Way (Ben Affleck, Jeremy Davies, Rachel Weisz, Rose McGowan), to the Grand Prix/Saturn Award-nominated Arlington Road (Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, Hope Davis); to The Mothman Prophecies, an intriguing parapsychological adaptive tale starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney; the dramedy, Henry Poole is Here; a story of friendship and loyalty in I Melt With You (Jeremy Piven, Thomas Jane, Christian McKay, Robe Lowe); the subtle poetry of grief, The Last Word; Nostalgia, with Catherine Keener and Jon Hamm headlining an ensemble cast; and the dance-expanse, The Severing, in 2022. His latest book, The Visualist, is an essential memoir surveying 40 years of shape-shifting filmmaking experiences. In our conversation, we discussed his approach towards film and music videos; his journey to New York City; the significance of archive; and his recent Director's cut release of Going All the Way.Opening Credits: M33 Project - On y va I CC BY-NC 4.0 DEED Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International; Jangwa - Losing Ground I CC BY-NC 4.0 DEED Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International.

News broke yesterday that veteran Newstalk ZB broadcaster Mike Hosking will be New Zealand's sole media representative inside Westminster Abbey for the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla this weekend. Now, Kate Hawkesby has teased what her husband will be wearing to the once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Taking to Instagram, the Newstalk ZB Early Edition host shared a series of images including the “inspo” for Hosking's royal attire which appeared to be a gold embellished Dolce and Gabbana suit. The choice doesn't seem too farfetched for Hosking who is no stranger to fun features on his clothes, however, Hawkesby quickly posted the photo again with a large “just jokes” plastered over the sketch. Kate Hawkesby had a bit of fun with her followers when sharing the journey to find Mike Hosking's coronation suit. Photo / Instagram Still on the hunt for the perfect suit, the following images posted to her social media story included a stop at Dolce and Gabbana and Ralph Lauren, before she shared with fans that they were dead ends because Hosking had his heart set on something else. Saville Row. The iconic British suitmakers have long been known for traditional bespoke tailoring for men and fittingly – no pun intended – has been the location men of royal descent have been dressed for centuries. Built between 1731 and 1735, the development was home to the creator of the dinner jacket, Henry Poole in 1846 and later Henry Huntsman of H. Huntsman & Sons. Saville Row has seen many historic and royal names come through their doors including Winston Churchill, Napoleon III and the man of the moment, King Charles. The pull is their “bespoke” tailoring – a term meaning each suit is hand-made to perfectly fit the individual. Sharing an image from inside an elite Saville Row suit makers, Hawkesby teased Hosking getting fitted for his coronation outfit, telling fans it's been “extremely last minute and stressful”. Covering up the look she wrote, “All will be revealed once it's been tailored and finished tomorrow”, however, the couple appear to have changed their mind about sharing the suit with the world before King Charles' coronation on May 6. The couple are yet to share Mike Hosking's coronation suit. Photo / Instagram This morning the ZB host posted photos from the final suit fitting including a snap of Hosking walking out of what appears to be a fitting room. Looking dapper, he donned a crisp white shirt, black pants and a jacket – which may or may not include tails. She then shared a close-up image but covered the suit with a green squiggle and wrote “Full reveal on Coronation day!”. Based on the sneak peek Hawkesby posted, Hosking's look keeps in line with the rumoured guidelines mentioned in the coronation invitation. The Herald reported last week that the Palace has requested male coronation attendees wear either a morning suit or business suit and for women, a “day dress” - a dress or suit intended to be worn during the day. It's a rather different request from that made when his mother, Queen Elizabeth, was crowned 70 years ago as the Palace then asked attendees to dress in formal regalia. While the ZB powerhouse couple is yet to share a full image of Hosking's royal outfit, Hawkesby did share one thing. His shoes. In a series of images she told fans that by a twist of fate, her husband will be wearing the exact same shoe as the King himself. Showing a close-up of the shoe, she said she spotted them at a “bespoke shoemaker” shop and couldn't help but look at them in awe. “Salesman explains these are the shoes the King is wearing to the coronation,” she wrote on a picture of Hosking holding up the shoes, “This is a sample they made of them but there's only one and only in one size.” “Mike (Cinderella)” she cheekily quipped, “asks what size are they? Salesman says let's try them on and see if they fit you …” Mike Hosking will wear the same shoes as King Charles thanks to a Cinderella moment. Photo / Instagram In the next Instagram story, Hawkesby posted a photo of Hosking wearing the shoe, “and guess what? They fit like a glove ...” She went on to say the salesman agreed to sell them to the couple, meaning Hosking will be wearing the exact same shoes to the coronation as King Charles – minus a gold royal buckle that is being added to Charles' pair as per coronation custom. Hosking will join a select few Kiwis inside Westminster Abbey to celebrate the King's coronation including Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, former All Black captain Richie McCaw and Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro. Spy reported last week that McCaw has chosen a morning suit from the menswear store Sergios in Christchurch. Kiro will reportedly wear a day dress and a korowai, while her husband Dr Richard Davies intends to wear a morning coat, her office says. - Lillie Rohan, NZHSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With so many people working from home because of the pandemic, there is far less demand for formal work attire. This is impacting those that make it all over the world, as we learn from Richard Anderson, a tailor on Savile Row - the street in London synonymous with suits - and Raja Fashions in Hong Kong, whose tailors usually travel the globe fitting their clients. We hear that while some office workers can't wait to dress up after the pandemic, others have embraced and even expanded their pyjama collection. Plus, Heather MacGregor, Executive Dean of Harrott Watt Business School, tells us how her workwear has been impacted by working from home.

Today Mack and T tackle their first ever Christian movie. T isn’t sure it should be considered a Christian movie. Mack doesn’t know how to feel about it. T hates almost every Christian movie he’s ever seen, so why did he pick this one? Is this how Mack felt when T didn’t like Mr. Church? Mack doesn’t like who? Because what? T still maintains that Zodiac was too long, but that has nothing to do with anything here. . #TwoGuysAMovieAndAPodcast . As always feedback is welcome!

As the Chief Experience Officer and co-founder of CivicActions, Aaron is dedicated to creating and supporting a culture of excellence, compassion, and authenticity. A longtime friend of mine, Aaron and I have intersected throughout many different points of our lives and careers. In this episode, we talk about how he blended his experience in the worlds of personal growth, tech, politics, and business to create CivicActions with Henry Poole. We also discuss the differences he witnessed in going from partnering with client in the nonprofit world to government. And, we talk about his time working in the White House with the U.S. Digital Service. Aaron sees the importance of organizational culture as a transformative agent and knows that the more we work together, the stronger we become. Key Takeaways: [6:18] Aaron has had a deep interest in personal growth for quite some time. He is passionate about using his skills in communication to foster healthy relationships and help others realize and accomplish their goals. [7:13] San Francisco has been a part of Aaron’s family for many years and also a large part of his background in tech and ability to see what’s on the forefront of the modern digital era. [8:12] Aaron co-founded CivicActions in 2004, with technologist Henry Poole whom he appreciates for his brilliant tech and business acumen. As the Chief Experience Officer, he is responsible for company culture and professional development. [10:14] Just a few of CivicActions clients include Departments of Agriculture, Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Justice & Veterans Affairs, Executive Office of the President, Federal Communications Commission, House of Representatives, Smithsonian National Museum, and California DMV. They had two tracks: to build a public infrastructure with content management systems that fostered openness and to empower the constituents in a network. [16:41] Aaron and I both saw Barack Obama speak, and wondered if one day he could possibly run for President. [17:31] Great leaders recognize that the people we meet can be helpful to us and we can be helpful to them, at many stages along our careers. As you transition through your career and grow, it’s important to build a network of others that you respect and admire. [20:43] Aaron and Henry took a look at what they thought was the most needed and it was clear — to raise the consciousness of the world and connect us with the impact our actions have on our earth and each other. They chose the vehicle to be the government and took a strong interest in modernizing the government and creating a more open and transparent space. [27:13] CivicActions is a fully distributed team, and everyone works out of their home office. Aaron and his family live in Costa Rica and he is able to make a great living while working remotely. [33:20] Aaron gives us the inside look at working in the White House during the Obama administration. He was brought on to work in the United States Digital Team and worked to help them spread the word and principles for creating a culture of inclusiveness and productivity. [45:38] Despite the craziness in the White House today, Aaron sees firsthand the amount of talented and dedicated public servants still there.
