Daily Vid: J.J. Abrams and his Mystery Box

An inspiring lecture from the creator of LOST.

By Matt Holmes /

This feature is not particularly about showing you hot off the press vids, it's just going to be something I have found interesting and wish to share with you guys. If you seen it already then great but not everyone who visits this site will have - so if you leave a comment make sure it's a constructive one. Today's Daily Vid is one that sums up the whole career and design of J.J. Abrams as a writer/producer and film-maker.

I love his imagination, his creativity and passion. He is so right about mystery - I think it would be fair of me to say that I have been one of the biggest promonents of keeping the mystery strong in films for the benefit of their quality whilst you are watching it and for their longevity. And I would explain to you why but J.J. Abrams is so much better at it than I am...

A video that can't help but inspire you - though I will admit I have that problem with my iMac everyday!
