Peter Weir | Master and Commander

Welton Academy is an all boys preparatory school established in 1859. In her first year, Welton Academy graduated five students. In 1958 it graduated fifty-one. And more than seventy-five percent of those went on to the Ivy League. The film's Welton Academy in Vermont was fictional, based on a Nashville prep school Schulman attended as a teen. More than 100 schools across the country were considered as the setting of Welton Academy. When "Poets" director Peter Weir pulled up to St. Andrews School for the first time "his eyes got as big as saucers," producer Steven Haft told The News Journal at the time. "He turned to me and said, 'This is it.'"

The Cars That Ate Paris Inspired Design celebrates Peter Weir's 1974 directorial debut about a fictional small town in Australia in which most of the inhabitants appear to be directly, or indirectly, involved in profiting from the results of car accidents.

The Volkswagen from the 1974 Peter Weir film, The Cars That Ate Paris, is a vehicle that once seen, is never forgotten. So what better way to present the car from that classic Australian film, than as a road warning sign? I’m actually quite pleased with this. I took a 3D model of a VW Beetle and using stills and screen captures, did my best to accurately place all the spikes in the right spots.

Did his wife cause the traffic? Should Truman think that?

A picnic of sleeping pills.
