  • Geotags and Location- Based Social Networking Applications, OPSEC and Protecting Unit Safety Social Media Roundup
    Social Media Roundup Geotags and Location- Based Social Networking Applications, OPSEC and protecting unit safety Social Media Roundup Introduction • In August of 2010, Adam Savage, of “MythBusters,” took a photo of his vehicle using his smartphone. He then posted the photo to his Twitter account including the phrase “off to work.” • Since the photo was taken by his smartphone, the image contained metadata reveling the exact geographical location the photo was taken. • So by simply taking and posting a photo, Savage revealed the exact location of his home, the vehicle he drives and the time he leaves for work. Read the full story here: http://nyti.ms/917hRh Social Media Roundup Introduction The following was published in Wired Magazine in 2009 • “I ran a little experiment. On a sunny Saturday, I spotted a woman in Golden Gate Park taking a photo with a 3G iPhone. Because iPhones embed geodata into photos that users upload to Flickr or Picasa, iPhone shots can be automatically placed on a map. At home I searched the Flickr map, and score—a shot from today. I clicked through to the user’s photostream and determined it was the woman I had seen earlier. After adjusting the settings so that only her shots appeared on the map, I saw a cluster of images in one location. Clicking on them revealed photos of an apartment Read the full story here: interior—a bedroom, a kitchen, a filthy living room. http://bit.ly/bJqYmm Now I know where she lives.” Social Media Roundup Introduction • As the stories above indicate, privacy and security aren’t what they used to be.

  • THE DIARY of a TEENAGE GIRL Press Kit 021015
    Presents THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL Written and Directed by Marielle Heller Based on the novel by Phoebe Gloeckner Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2015 101 mins Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1028 Queen Street West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/ SYNOPSIS Like most teenage girls, Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) is longing for love, acceptance and a sense of purpose in the world. Minnie begins a complex love affair with her mother’s (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend, “the handsomest man in the world,” Monroe Rutherford (Alexander Skarsgård). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment. Set in 1976 San Francisco, THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL begins at the crossroads of the fading hippie movement and the dawn of punk rock. News commentary of the Patty Hearst trial echoes in the background, as Minnie’s young expressive eyes soak in a drug-laden city in transition— where teenage rebellion and adult responsibility clash in characters lost and longing. Minnie’s hard-partying mother and absent father have left her rudderless. She first finds solace in Monroe’s seductive smile, and then on the backstreets of the city by the bay. Animation serves a refuge from the confusing and unstable world around her. Minnie emerges defiant— taking command of her sexuality and drawing on her newfound creative talents to reveal truths in the kind of intimate and vivid detail that can only be found in the pages of a teenage girl’s diary.
