Introducing Fake Love, a Film Inspired by Teen Soap Operas
Following the release of Kreuzberg, a documentary of the Berlin neighborhood as seen through the eyes of Aaron Rose, we bring you Fake Love. For his second film, Rose employed complete creative freedom to experiment with the high-definition camera on his iPhone 4 to create a teen soap opera.
Filmed in the Echo Park and Silverlake neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Fake Love follows a gang of girls, one whom believes that “fake love” is more exciting than true love. Choosing to feature real people that he felt could best orchestrate a scenario that speaks to the youth of today, Rose called upon a cast of friends comprised of musicians, poets, writers, photographers and artists living in Los Angeles. According to Rose, “They didn’t really have to act because they are such amazing personalities.” Truly a tribute to teen soap operas, a genre he finds both mystifying and exciting, Rose believes that American television “is the new avant-garde cinema.”
Rose incorporated the use of a tripod for more controlled filming; he affixed an Incase Slider Case to the tripod with a “T” bracket. To assist in capturing the dramatic feel of a soap opera, Rose also filmed with a Zacuto Z-grip and Spider Dolly.
The three-part series by Rose showcases the way his creative mind harnesses the capabilities of iPhone 4 to create an inspired visual experience that engages viewers. Be sure to bookmark the Aaron Rose page; following Kreuzberg and Fake Love, a final film and photo essay by Rose will close the series on November 30.

Introducing Kreuzberg, a Film and Photo Essay by Aaron Rose
We are pleased to announce the release of Kreuzberg, the first of three original short films and photo essays by director and curator Aaron Rose for Incase. Known as one of the cornerstones of the street art movement, Rose is an artist, film director, exhibition curator and writer who merged his artistry, love for travel and reliance on his iPhone to create the visuals of Kreuzberg and two upcoming film and photo essay releases. Each piece highlights the creative possibilities that can be captured using the built-in HD camera of iPhone 4.
While traveling in Germany, Rose shot Kreuzberg on location in the Berlin neighborhood of the same name. Rose used the high-definition camera on his iPhone 4 while relying on our Snap Case to provide his iPhone with the protection that international travel and on-location shooting requires.
According to Rose, the film is a tribute to Brian Eno and David Bowie, both of whom recorded in Kreuzberg in the 1970s. Since the 1980s, the historically Turkish neighborhood of Kreuzberg has also been home to a population of artists, musicians and anarchists. Kreuzberg’s main characters are Fiona Geuss, an art historian who reads excerpts from Boris Groys’ essay on “light luggage,” and Nathan Harrington, a musician who also created the film’s original score. In the film, Harrington recites a poem written by Rose expressing nostalgia for the town and its storied history that echoes in its streets.
The three-part series by Rose will showcase how his creative mind harnessed the capabilities of iPhone 4 to create an inspired visual experience that engages viewers. Be sure to bookmark the Aaron Rose page; following Kreuzberg, we’ll be releasing two additional films and photo essays by Rose on November 2 and November 30.

Introducing Eley Kishimoto For Incase

The Incase 13″ MacBook Pro Sleeve, iPad Sleeve and the Slider Case for iPhone 4 have been treated with the bold graphic, representing the perfect balance between creative flair and simple execution.
“Being an avid user of Incase accessories, I found their products to be the perfect platform to express our creative ideas,” said Mark Eley, Eley Kishimoto founder. “We have manipulated a variety of surfaces and materials in the past, from concrete to ceramics to motor vehicles. With the Incase collaboration, it was an opportunity to communicate the quality and integrity of both brands’ approach to design, collaboration and product.”
From a partnership forged in the early 90s, Eley Kishimoto quickly gained a reputation for incisive and intelligent print design. Their creations have been displayed on the runways of the world through their work with Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Alber Elbaz and Jil Sander, among others. Although they primarily work in fashion, they have also collaborated with partners to offer a wide range of footwear and accessories, as well as wallpaper, furniture, fabrics and more.
The Incase | Eley Kishimoto collection is our latest collaborative project within the fashion world, following previous co-branded releases with Paris fashion boutique colette featuring art by Gareth Pugh and Japanese menswear brand uniform experiment.
“Technology and fashion are almost inseparable these days, and we are playing a key role in this convergence,” said Damon Way, Incase Chief Brand Officer. “Eley Kishimoto has a strong visual identity and positioning which I respect and admire on many levels and the partnership brings a fresh perspective that people can relate to.”
The Incase | Eley Kishimoto products are part of a capsule collection of accessories for Apple device users with an appreciation of fashion and technology. The collection will officially launch at London Fashion Week and London Design Festival 2010.
