environmental film festival a success

Locals flocked to the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival last night, hosted by the Organization for the Assabet River and sponsored by studio-e.

Liz and Jess attended the sold-out event, held in Maynard, and marveled at some of the issues presented. Some of their favorite films included Burning the Future: Coal in America, in which activists grapple with the environmental devastation caused by coal-mining in West Virginia, and Goldfish, in which two girls who’ve watched Finding Nemo too many times break into school to free the class goldfish — by flushing him down the toilet.

As a design firm committed to education, studio-e believes that it’s important to give back to the community, provide programs that assist in protecting the environment and support the work of non-profits.

Below is a trailer for one of the festival's films, Homegrown Revolution.

birthday week

It’s birthday week here at studio-e. Three out of the four full-time staff members are turning another year older: Julie (2/23), Lynn (2/24) and Jessica (2/27). (We will refrain from revealing their ages.) Thus far, we’ve celebrated with local specialties—flowers, cupcakes, lemon cookies, and, on Friday, Indian food.

What does it mean that three-fourths of studio-e’s employees are Pisces? Here’s what some reliable Internet sources have to say on the matter: 

Pisces prefer jobs that allow for freedom of expression, and offer frequent changes and adaptations; the workplace must feel comfortable, have a pleasant atmosphere in a flexible space, and be brightly colored. A Pisces employee must work in a place where there’s an outlet for either human understanding or creative imagination. When happy, Pisces are loyal workers, and will get the job done, though few people may understand how they operate.

It’s no wonder that so many fish work at studio-e.
