The completely online program, which will admit its first students in September, is comprised of modules covering the creative process, mechanics of crafts, business concepts, and criticism. The curriculum has been designed to help aspiring directors, producers, writers, and executives better understand their own inclinations and career paths. The organizers hope that Yellowbrick’s track record of attracting learners from diverse backgrounds will help draw talent that may not have otherwise found routes into the industry.

Everywhere you go its zombies, zombies, and zombies. George Romero and others are walking around with their chest puffed out as they knew something years ago that few paid attention to. And that is that zombies are cool. From videos games to TV shows, the zombie culture is sweeping the nation and doesn’t look to slow down anytime in the near future. Credit books like Wold War Z, movies like Zombieland, and games like Black Ops, that have propelled the younger generation to fall in love with the undead as we horror fiends have many years prior. Keeping the momentum in full swing in the next incarnation of a film based off a popular book is Zombie Blondes.
Zombie Blondes is a book written by Brian James. Smash Media Films has hired Lior Chefetz and Joe Swanson to start penning a script to the popular cheerleaders of the undead novel.

"Citizens Of The World" is a song, a video documentary, and a vision of international cultural exchange. Written by emerging NYC band Flying Machines, "Citizens Of The World" was performed in five different languages by multi-platinum artists from China, India, Africa, Algeria, and America.
