•KOSINSKI TEAMS WITH Q DEPARTMENT FOR 'DIRECTOR SERIES'> Joseph Kosinski, director of Tr2n, the upcoming 3-D Tron sequel, is set to host the next edition of Q Department's avant-garde "Director Series" creative salon on November 10. Billed as "an homage to the director as auteur of creating experiences", the idea for the event is inspired by unexpected music direction that Q Department has received from directors over the years. The first "Directors Series" was a "three-hour musical journey" curated by MJZ director Tom Kuntz. To see photos from that event, click here. PS260 editor Maury Loeb will kick off a similar Editor Series with Q Department in late November.
