Loctite’s new industrial adhesive is so strong, just three grams of the stuff is capable of withstanding over 200 tons of resistance. Loctite and their agency, Point2Point, turned to Fighting Monk to document the ultimate strength test:  Pull 208-tons of train cars behind a locomotive using only the 4070 Structural Adhesive. A connecting rig was designed by Henkel engineers.

A new documentary detailing the impact the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal had on the State College community takes a hard look at the concept of forgiveness.
The first screening of the film “365 Days: A Year in Happy Valley” was held Friday night at The State Theatre as part of a red carpet premiere.
In the film, there is a comparison between the aftermath of the Sandusky child abuse scandal to that of the 2006 Nickel Mines Amish school shooting. After the shooting, family members of the children killed and injured embraced the killer’s family and displayed their faith’s emphasis on forgiveness.

Erik Proulx has been making short films his whole career.
A 15-year veteran of the advertising industry, he created commercials for brands like Volvo, Fidelity Investments, General Motors, and Perdue Chicken until – two days after being offered a raise and a promotion – his agency laid him off without ceremony. So he did what came naturally: he made a film.

The most respected and influential film critic of all time had some nice words to say about “Lemonade: Detroit.”
