If you dream of being a great filmmaker, this could be Your Big Break. Write a screenplay for a 3-minute film that ‘captures the spirit of 100% Pure New Zealand, the youngest country on Earth’, and you could be one of five filmmakers to wing your way to NZ to have your short film produced by Lord of the Rings producer Barrie Osborne. The winning film will be selected by Peter Jackson and presented worldwide as part of 100% Pure New Zealand!

Disclosure: 100% New Zealand is currently advertising on this site. And I think this is a damn good promotion for creative professional to get to work!

Hilarious: The Standard hotel in Miami had these great little replica’s of the famous Belgian bronze fountain sculptures– but this time they’re, well, in the spa.

The “Manneken Pis” — Dutch for “little man urinating” — is a replica of the famous Belgian bronze fountain sculpture, still a landmark in Brussels today. Made in 1388, legend has it that in the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power.
