Jaman | online library of world films | The Nothing Pill featured
Jaman sounds like jamon, which means "ham" (this was learned after watching the Spanish film Jamon, Jamon -- Javier and Penelope!). Totally irrelevant, but something that came to mind...
JAMAN is not a deli meat, but rather a destination for people to discover, enjoy and review movies from around the world. According to its creed: "Jaman's Internet community is pioneering the social aspects of independent and international media. Having curated and assembled one of the world's largest online libraries of feature films and documentaries, Jaman provides filmmakers and studios a secure way to distribute and market films worldwide."
Schema knows Jaman has the goods since Vancouver's own (L.A-based) filmmaker Yu Gu's short THE NOTHING PILL will be shown only until April 3rd as a continuation of the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (SFIAAF) . The Nothing Pill streams the story of a scientist who develops a "nothing pill" as an antidote to loneliness in a dying world. According to Jaman: The Nothing Pill's "themes of memory and technology are smashed together in this moody, absorbing futuristic short film."
