Tommy Kane Draws Lebanon


I promised I would do a film of my trip to Lebanon and here it is. It is the best one I've done so far. The fact that Lebanon is so amazing helped the texture of this video. Also I didn't do the music for this one either. I found some great Lebanese music online and chose certain pieces to give the film a haunting quality. Hope you like how it turned out. I'm very pleased with how it came out.

I am so impressed. By paintings composition, light, colors (how person can have enough patience to draw all the stones in the wall???), by music (I stopped only watching but started dancing), by the film. Then I watched your other films (movies?). You do great. Please go on.

Yes, this is a great film. Thank you for sharing. I dreamt a bit of other horizons thru your movie. Just like Irina, i also watch your other movies. Lovely movie, great drawings....

As a Lebanese, I have to say that is a pretty good representation..it made me feel very homesick and very,very hungry! Nice drawings and dancing too! xx

Hey, I'm Lebanese and think the film is great! I also can't wait to go and walk amongst the electricity wires this Christmas! Did you have shawarma? Oh, and of course, nice dancing!

我們應該體會與認同一個重要觀念,網路時代企業的經營模式當然要以網路行銷為中心,然而是否所有的企業都要為馬上投入而不惜付出任何代價呢?網路行銷是一種經營模式,既然是經營模式就必然與企業文化、企業傳統有著緊密的聯繫,不切實際的削足適履勢必適得其反,因此"循序漸進"的模式是目前大多數企業的正確選擇。在底層的基礎結構還沒有建好的情況下,想一躍而上實現較高階段是不切實際的。
