"At this point in my life," she says, "I can't hide behind it anymore."
In another reason why they should just form a dang band already, Hayley Williams and David Byrne have released another new collaboration in "Open The Door." The sentimental, sunshine-laden ballad is from the soundtrack to the new Netflix film The Twits (based on the beloved 1980 Roald Dahl children's novel). In the film, two kids and a "family of magical animals" team up to battle the "meanest, nastiest villains [who] pull a trick to take over their town." Check out the song below.

It's hard to think of a more iconic exchange in the history of theater than the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet. Those legendary lines. That stolen kiss.

Together, the creative team conceived a bed of flowers-revealed by the opening of a circular panel-and, suspended above it, a mattress.

Ever tried getting feedback from five different people on one design file? It gets chaotic and confusing, doesn't it? In fact, 83% of knowledge workers rely primarily on email and chat for team communication. And, nearly 60% of their workday is lost switching between these tools and searching for information. Between the unending email chains, missed comments, and version mix-ups, your voice disappears from the creative work, and you end up with delayed and subpar submissions.

Home is not just a point on a map. In the music of Joan Shelley, it's often embodied by the people who make up a place.

When I started prepping my latest film, Mooch - a 91-minute noir comedy (very) loosely based on my own experience as an emo-kid-turned-golf-caddy - I knew the biggest challenge wasn't just making the film. It was making it while juggling multiple roles: director, actor, editor, sometimes producer. I needed a way to keep the whole machine moving, without being chained to constant walkthroughs, verbal briefs, or scattered notes.
