Max on Mummers, mack

Letters to the Editor
Max Weitzenhoffer
I used to perform at the Mummers Theater with Mack Scism before it was built. Mack, the longtime Mummers managing director, had a vision. He worked out of a garage. It was an in-the-round situation in a big garage downtown, and it was a very good operation.

VOTD: ‘Off the Wall,’ indeed

French producer Yuksek impresses with this trippy clip.

You know how Macs have that Photo Booth program?

Well, you know that one effect you can put on it where the middle of the screen splits out, showing a mirror image of whatever’s there on each side of the screen? Well it looks like Yuksek did a really, really impressive, highly trippy version of that to accompany his infectious track “Off the Wall.” It’s way cooler than that time you tried to make it look like you had two heads.

Be amazed:

Nonfiction
Rod Lott
