How long until we have a creative class schooled entirely on the internet?
Last month, like many of Urgensia’s readers, I received an invite from Vimeo to check out their online video school. I’ve tooled around their various video-lesson plans, and if I ever had the time, would consider attempting one of their challenges, in order to up my own skillset. What it got me thinking, in this [...]

Coachella Like You’ve Never Seen It
I just watched this video from filmmaker Sam O’Hare that he made while at Coachella Music Festival in the Spring.
