balloons

The path of every artist is something truly singular and, far enough long, something amazing and often unprecedented. Emily Browning is marvelous example of this as she has found her way in and throughout stand-up, clown, writing, acting, and, yep, balloon art and is bringing all of that together in a very, very special balloon art crowd work special, shooting next month. TCB’s Jake Kroeger has an enlightening conversation of how Emily has come to this splendid current moment.

DVDs of “The Interview” Have Indeed Been Dropped Into North Korea via Balloons

The plan hatched just after The Interview finally hit theaters has been carried out.

Lee Min-bok who defected from North Korea and now has become an activist against the regime used helium balloons to release thousands of copies of The Interview on DVD and pamphlets. Of course, this lead to North Korean forces attempting to shoot down some of the balloons.

We’re pretty sure no other comedy film in history can or potentially will ever be able to claim that copies of the film were distributed via balloon as a tactic in a “cold war” of sorts.

Hopefully, DVD players aren’t being confiscated in Pyongyang right now.
