INFLUENCERS - Short Film
INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.
The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach.
Written and Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture.
"Influencers" belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.

Infographic - When Do People Break Up?
Infographic designer extraordinaire David McCandless visualizes when Facebook users reset their "relationship status."
The winter holidays will be here soon. And according to David McCandless, author of The Visual Miscellaneum, that means you'd better brace yourself for Facebook's annual breakup season.
McCandless's infographic takes data from Facebook and plots out when users tend to dump their significant others most. It happens two times a year: a couple weeks before the winter holidays, and right around spring break.
It's no surprise that spring is a time when young lovers shed their romantic baggage to party unfettered in Cancun. But the pre-Christmas dumpathon is more interesting: the breakups seem to spike at least two weeks before the holidays because, as McCandless bluntly puts it, kicking your sig-o to the curb under the mistletoe is "too cruel."
Speaking of cruelty, the third most popular breakup day on Facebook is, apparently, April Fool's Day. Breaking up may be hard to do at the best of times, but that's just cold.
