Inc. announced today that its 2015 Fuel Your School program generated $500,000 to help fund 538 classroom projects, including 223 focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), to help connect real world experiences to classroom learning for 40,089 students at 151 public schools in select cities in and around the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County. Students at the Da Vinci Innovation Academy received a Physics Fun Park Electronics Discovery Kit. The kit will be used to help students gain a better understanding of the laws of physics and how these concepts are used to create and run an amusement park. “Children remember concepts best when they have the opportunity to discover why something works,” said Darlene Wonggaew, recipient teacher at Da Vinci Innovation Academy. “The items Chevron’s Fuel Your School program helped fund will allow my students to create their own Physics Fun Park by building games and rides that incorporate magnets and electricity, while learning the laws of physics behind the games.” Through the Fuel Your School program, Chevron contributed $1 when consumers purchased eight or more gallons of fuel at participating Chevron and Texaco stations in select cities in and around the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County during the month of October, generating $500,000 to help fund eligible classroom projects at local public schools. The Fuel Your School program is part of Chevron’s total commitment to education. Chevron has invested nearly $250 million since 2013, supporting programs that focus on STEM education initiatives designed to arm students and teachers with the critical skills and resources needed to succeed in jobs of the future. “As a company full of engineers, we are happy to help encourage our local students to explore STEM education and possible future careers requiring STEM-based skills,” said Frank Semancik, general manager of the Chevron, El Segundo refinery. “The impact this program has already made on our students is incredible and we’re proud to help provide with the materials needed to help make learning fun and engaging.” This year, Chevron’s Fuel Your School program generated more than $8.8 million for local classrooms in 21 U.S. communities and benefitted more than 1 million students by providing them with needed supplies. Chevron fully funded the traditional Fuel Your School program in 16 U.S. markets and local Chevron and Texaco marketers helped fund five additional markets. Since its inception in 2010, Chevron’s Fuel Your School program has helped fund 33,685 classroom projects at 5,155 schools in the U.S. The program’s impact has grown each year to support students in many communities where Chevron has business operations. • The Poignant Stop-Motion Anomalisa is One of the Year’s Best By Morgan Rojas for www.cinemacy.com He is the mind behind some of cinema’s most creative and original films, such as 1999’s Being John Malkovich, 2002’s Adaptation, and 2004’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind – now, screenwriter-turned-director Charlie Kaufman is back with his second feature film, Anomalisa. In similar Kaufman fashion, the protagonist is a middle-aged cynic crippled by the mundanity of modern life, only to come to life when a stranger opens his eyes and ears to the beauty of human connection, if only for a moment. Michael Stone (David Thewlis) is a customer service businessman, unhappy while constantly traveling to speaking engagements across the country. As the author of a highly successful book detailing the way to victory in the field, Stone finds himself a semi-celebrity, ever-reluctantly. Despite his outward successes, the married father of one longs for more – something, anything, to snap him out of his melancholy existence. Everyone he meets literally looks and sounds the same, a clever ruse in which the third billed Tom Noonan voices every other character (credited as “Everyone Else”). It’s on a trip to Cincinnati when everything changes, when he meets the quirky Lisa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), different from anyone he has ever met, with a liveliness that awakens a passion inside him that he had long thought was gone. Together, Michael and Lisa embark on a personal journey of love and heartbreak that makes for one unforgettable experience. Despite the inherently childlike quality of a stop-motion animated film, Anomalisa is definitely not for children. The animated format includes adult subject matter, including scenes of sexual content, which only serve to highlight the film’s mature themes. The stop-motion production is a marvel, taking a full day’s work for animators to create just two seconds worth of screen time. Because of the tedious nature of the job and close attention to detail, no second in Anomalisa is wasted. The quirky mannerisms exhibited by everyday people that otherwise go unnoticed in daily life are so carefully captured here, playing as some of the film’s most inspired laughs. Composer Carter Burwell creates a minimal but beautiful soundtrack to emphasize Michael’s desires, resonating with and affecting all. Kaufman originally penned this longingfor love story for the stage (released under the pseudonym Francis Fregoli) and cast David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Tom Noonan to be his principal, and only, actors. With growing interest of turning this “sound play” into a film, Kaufman hesitated, afraid that the movie adaptation would lose authenticity. Those who backed the film’s production on Kickstarter had other thoughts, however, as the film raised over $400,000 of its $200,000 goal and proved that the interest was there and ready. With support from Starburns Industries and co-director Duke Johnson, Kaufman recruited his original cast of three to create the film. Anomalisa is a transfixing, thoughtful, and touching film that goes deep into the viewer’s psyche and stirs up emotions of introspective thought. Critics are highly praising the film’s ability to transcend reality. Anomalisa has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, and there is no doubt that Kaufman’s latest masterpiece stands out as one of the year’s best. Anomalisa opens with a limited release at The Landmark on December 30. Rated R for strong sexual content, graphic nudity and language. • Film Review Characters voiced by David Thewlis and Jennifer Jason Leigh in Anomalisa. Courtesy of Paramount Pictures.
