Conducts a workshop in "How to Unstuff Your Life"
location: DNA Gallery
DNA Gallery is pleased to present anti-clutter guru and author Andrew Mellen, who will be giving a free 30-minute Untsuff Your Life! workshop, Q&A and book signing on August 29 at 7:30pm at the DNA Gallery in town.
He'll be onsite by 7:00pm and the workshop will run from 7:30pm - 8:30pm.
This is to celebrate the launch of his book, Unstuff Your Life!, which went on sale August 3. Copies will be on sale before and after the workshop.
The workshop will be informal and informative -- you're sure to pick up some useful tips and have fun at the same time!
You're also encouraged to bring your real life "stuff" challenges to the event and he will answer them for you. Think Antique Roadshow, but for stuff - so don't literally bring your grandmother's china, but do bring your clutter/stuff concerns - photos and other visual aids are always welcome.
Please share this information with your networks of friends and colleagues. Andrew would like to sell some books, certainly, but more importantly, he'd like to get this information and some skills into folks' hands.
And we hope you'll be able to make it to the event yourself.
Thanks for the support and look forward to seeing you soon.

Photographer and video artist DAVID ELLIS presents:
FLASH-FILMS: Experimental Short-Short Pinhole Video Vignettes
location: DNA Gallery
Photographer and filmmaker David Ellis presents a premier screening of his latest video works: Flash-Films, a selection of short-short pinhole video vignettes. In his Flash-Films, as a nod to the new literary genre Flash-Fiction, Ellis explores and creates on the fringe of new 21st century film making with his experimentation in low-resolution pinhole video capture, digital deconstructions and extensive editing, and layering of effects to create these captivating short videos. His video/film work possesses the same poetic essence and, at times, dreamy "film-noire" feeling, as his "low-tech" still photographic images. With the addition of time, ambient sounds, movement, or the hypnotic, edgy sounds of new German electronic trance music work by Berlin composer Hanne Adam, http://adamned-age.com, considered one of Germany's leading new electronic music composers, the pinhole imagery enters into an entirely new realm, at times even morphing into animation.
This is an evening of experimental new filmmaking not to be missed!
