There Is a Difference Living the Between of Mental Health

By: Mick Humbert

Through three writing projects over a six-year span, the author explores the variety and extent of Mental Health and Mental Illness from personal experience over that same time span. Having been diagnosed with a major depressive disorder, which spans 30+ years including three major inpatient as well as outpatient programs, counseling, and medication, the author shares not only his insights during remission but also the raw impact of a Mental Health relapse.

Riding the White Line

Traffic Tickets and Thunderstorms

By: Mick Humbert

We all ride the white line, whether on a bicycle or in daily life. To our left is the smooth pavement where traffic is heavy, speed is up, and people are in a hurry. To our right is the shoulder which, while safer and slower, is often littered with gravel, broken glass, and the occasional pothole. Most of us choose to ride a white line existence: in the flow of traffic but within easy reach of the cluttered shoulder. Along the way, we are affected by and also impact the pedestrians of life that we meet and interact with. With several long distance fund raising bicycle trips as a backdrop, Mick speaks to some of the positive values in life. Through the "pedestrians" he meets and the values they live out, Mick explores some of these values. Pedaling along the white line of life, while dangerous, is also rewarding. Certainly the pedestrians one meets are worth every revolution.

Reconstructing Strangelove

Inside Stanley Kubrick's "Nightmare Comedy"

By: Mick Broderick

During his career Stanley Kubrick became renowned for undertaking lengthy and exhaustive research prior to the production of all his films. In the lead-up to what would eventually become Dr. Strangelove (1964), Kubrick read voraciously and amassed a substantial library of works on the nuclear age. With rare access to unpublished materials, this volume assesses Dr. Strangelove's narrative accuracy, consulting recently declassified Cold War nuclear-policy documents alongside interviews with Kubrick's collaborators. It focuses on the myths surrounding the film, such as the origins and transformation of the "straight" script versions into what Kubrick termed a "nightmare comedy." It assesses Kubrick's account of collaborating with the writers Peter George and Terry Southern against their individual remembrances and material archives. Peter Sellers's improvisations are compared to written scripts and daily continuity reports, showcasing the actor's brilliant talent and variations.

Directing

Film Techniques and Aesthetics

By: Michael Rabiger,Mick Hurbis-Cherrier

Directing: Film Techniques and Aesthetics is a comprehensive exploration into the art and craft of directing for film and television. It’s filled with practical advice, essential technical information, and inspiring case studies for every stage of production. This book covers the methods, technologies, thought processes, and judgments that a director must use throughout the fascinating process of making a film, and concentrates on developing the human aspects of cinema to connect with audiences. The fully revised and updated 6th edition features new sections on using improvisation, the development of characters for long form television series, visual design, the role of the digital imaging technician, film promotion and distribution, alongside expanded information on contemporary color grading tools, stylistic approaches and genre, workflows, blocking scenes for the camera and more. The book emphasizes independent and short form cinema which allows cutting-edge creativity and professionalism on shoestring budgets. Recognizing that you learn best by doing, it includes dozens of practical hands-on projects and activities to help you master technical and conceptual skills. Just as important as surmounting technological hurdles is the conceptual and authorial side of filmmaking. This book provides an unusually clear view of the artistic process, particularly in working with actors and principle crew members. It offers eminently practical tools and exercises to help you develop your artistic identity, find credible and compelling stories, choose and work with your cast and hone your narrative skills. Directing shows you how to surpass mere technical proficiency and become a storyteller with a distinctive voice and style. The accompanying companion website includes film analysis exercises, shooting projects, checklists and assignment forms, analytical questionnaires, updated production forms and logs for all phases of a project with links to additional resources and set safety advice.

There is No Such Thing as a Free Press

...and we need one more than ever

By: Mick Hume

The aim of this book is to a launch a polemic for the freedom of the press against all of the attempts to police, defile and sanitise journalism today. Once the media reported the news. Now it makes it. From the phone-hacking scandal to rows about press regulation, super-injunctions, leaks, libel and privacy laws, the power of the Murdoch empire, and the future of the BBC, the media has become the story. The British press is in crisis and under scrutiny as never before. In the fall-out from the phone-hacking scandal one national newspaper has already been closed down and some would like to see others go the same way. However, this book argues that there is not too much media freedom in Britain today, but too little. There are not too few controls and restrictions on what can legitimately be published and broadcast, but too many - both formal and informal. Some newspapers in Britain and elsewhere might be going 'free' in financial terms, under pressure from declining sales and the new online media. But in almost every way that matters, the press is less free - thanks both to external constraints and the internal corrosion of the foundations of good journalism. This book aims to shake up the one-way 'debate' about the freedom of the media. It will argue that the media's standing has been undermined both from without and within, and put the case for standing up both to the censors and to the conformists in all their guises.

Riding the White Line

Is Grace Low on the Totem Pole?

By: Mick Humbert

This is the third and final book of a trilogy, of sorts, I had in mind some six years ago. In Is Grace Low on the Totem Pole? the most religious topic that has formed the center of my lifes journey will be explored. The bicycle touring material for this book is a ride I began in Alaska, called Homer to Home, which started in June 2014 on my recumbent bicycle that I call Grace. In exploring the religious topic of Grace, this book certainly is the most heady and philosophical that I have written. Hopefully, the bicycling experiences I present will make Grace more understandable and relevant for you. If Jesus had been raised in an Inuit culture, I believe he would have understood and spoken in parables about the totem pole. The word Grace that we use so often in Christian tradition seems too mystical and ethereal for general understanding, much less as a practical application upon which to base ones life. I wish to pose and expound on the question: is Grace low on the totem pole? Using material, stories, and personalities from the ride along with the symbolism of the totem pole in the epilogue, I aim to explore a place that Grace can have in ones life.
