Richard Arvin Overton is 110 years old, still walks, still drives, and enjoys a cigar — but never inhales. He pays cash for whatever he buys, lives in the house he built in 1945, and hasn't bought a new car since the 70s. Of a morning, Richard has about four cups of coffee and maybe a sip of whiskey. He calls it the Overton diet. Richard is the oldest living veteran in America, having served in the South Pacific from 1942 to 1945. Filmmakers Matt Copper and Rocky Conly sat down with Richard to talk about longevity, what keeps him going, and his military service.

Brahms Vs. Radiohead

Steve Hackman isn't your average composer. Instead of writing his own original works, he's taking classic symphonies and remixing them with modern songs. For his latest arrangement, the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra performs his symphonic mashup of German composer Johannes Brahms' 1st Symphony and Radiohead's third album OK Computer.

The Dark Knight: Visual Echoes

Directors often have their production crew watch films that portray a similar experience to one they're looking to capture in their own work. For Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, that film was Michael Mann's 1995 crime thriller Heat. The latest video essay from Glass Distortion puts scenes from Mann's Heat and Nolan's The Dark Knight side-by-side to show the influences on — and references to — Mann's film.
