This Is Informative, You Should Watch It of the Day: RSA Animate x Cognitive Media, in conjunction with Riverhead Books, bring a poignant portion of pop-sci author Steven Johnson’s TED Talk on “where good ideas come from” to life.
I appreciate how this affirms what I believe in: an individual can have an inspired idea, but he needs another individual to grow it into something better, he needs a team to make the idea real. I hope more and more creative mentors focus more on the value of TEAM WORK in making an idea brilliant. A seed of an idea may come from just one mind, but that’s just about it. Great creatives, I believe, trust in their team mates.

Here are several clips of Alexis Tioseco talking to broadcast journalist Cheche Lazaro about the state of Philippine Cinema.
Cheche: Why did you choose films as an area to critique?
Alexis: In the Philippines, I think it would be quite honest to say that we don’t have a very healthy cultural criticism, and I think that that’s a bad thing especially in the arts. In the same way that you need criticism with regard to the government, you need it with regard to other things in order for them to grow.
