Julie Talen is a writer and experimental filmmaker best known for her work with multi-channel narrative.
 Her directorial debut, the digital feature, "Pretend", premiered at the Lincoln Center’s New York Video Festival in 2003.
 The film uses an array of multiple frames and complex graphics to tell the story of a troubled family living in upstate New York.
 "The collage of images evokes the memories, fantasies and fears of the characters, bridging the distance between the objective reality of what the camera sees and the inner worlds that are ordinarily left to actors to convey,’’ wrote A.O. Scott of "The New York Times", who also called "Pretend" a “harrowing, dazzling feature.”
 In "Sixty Cameras Against the War" (2004), Talen unearthed unexpected synchronicity among random digital videos taken in a massive but little-seen anti-war rally held in New York City on Feb 15, 2003, just days before the invasion of Iraq.
 The film was shown at the Whitney Museum of American Art among other locations.
"I Pretend" is a song written by Barry Mason and Les Reed.

 He produced, directed and wrote the Mr. Clean commercials until the 1970s.
 The Mr. Clean jingle is still used today in a more contemporary arrangement.
Henry Carey (c. 26 August 1687 – 5 October 1743) was an English poet, dramatist and song-writer.
 He is remembered as an anti-Walpolean satirist and also as a patriot.
 Several of his melodies continue to be sung today, and he was widely praised in the generation after his death.
 Because he worked in anonymity, selling his own compositions to others to pass off as their own, contemporary scholarship can only be certain of some of his poetry, and a great deal of the music he composed was written for theatrical incidental music.
 However, under his own name and hand, he was a prolific song writer and balladeer, and he wrote the lyrics for almost all of these songs.
 Further, he wrote numerous operas and plays.
 His life is illustrative of the professional author in the early 18th century.
 Without inheritance or title or governmental position, he wrote for all of the remunerative venues, and yet he also kept his own political point of view and was able to score significant points against the ministry of the day.
 Further, he was one of the leading lights of the new "Patriotic" movement in drama.
