Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles is a 2021 American concert film directed by Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Osborne. It stars singer-songwriter Billie Eilish (pictured), who performs all 16 tracks from her second studio album, Happier Than Ever, at Los Angeles's Hollywood Bowl. Inspired by Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and Cool World (1992), the film blends live action with animation; its animated scenes combine motion capture footage of Eilish with rotoscoping by Osborne. Principal photography at the Hollywood Bowl took place for one week and without a live audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lacking a crowd, the crew recorded Eilish from very close distances, aiming to create a sense of intimacy between her and the viewers. The film, released exclusively to Disney+ in September 2021, was praised by critics for its performances, animation style, and cinematography. It received nominations for multiple awards, such as Best Music Film at the 2022 Grammy Awards. (Full article...)

Buddy Hield

Buddy Hield (born December 17, 1992) is a Bahamian basketball player who currently plays for the Indiana Pacers in the National Basketball Association. Recruited to play college basketball for the Oklahoma Sooners, Hield went on to win the John R. Wooden Award in his senior year as the best college basketball player for the 2015–16 season, in which he averaged 25 points, 5.7 rebounds and two assists per game. He was selected by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2016 NBA draft as the sixth overall pick, before moving to the Sacramento Kings in early 2017 following a trade. After five years in Sacramento, he joined the Pacers in 2022 in another trade deal. This photograph, taken in January 2016, shows Hield playing for the Oklahoma Sooners against the Texas Tech Red Raiders at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
