Werner Herzog's Film School

"The Rogue Film School is not for the faint-hearted; it is for those who have traveled on foot, who have worked as bouncers in sex clubs or as wardens in a lunatic asylum, for those who are willing to learn about lock-picking or forging shooting permits in countries not favoring their projects. In short: it is for those who have a sense for poetry. For those who are pilgrims. For those who can tell a story to four-year-old children and hold their attention. For those who have a fire burning within. For those who have a dream." - http://www.roguefilmschool.com/

Ads by the Michael Stich Foundation.

I'm a huge fan of creative social awareness ads, which the U.S. media unfortunately severely lacks. I believe a lot of issues can be solved if we had better, for a lack of a better word, marketing. I suppose the problem is inadequate funding since we definitely have the artists. / Click images to enlarge. Click here to read more.
