Georgie Moments In The Lives Of Brit And Ava

Brit: Just hanging out! I feel really lonely. I wonder what Ashton is up to. I can’t get him out of my mind. He’s so hot!

Brit: I love nature. I can really relate to my favorite tree. We are both twisted and blown apart by the wind of time, gnarled and injured. Thank heaven my pants are comfy.

Brit: I am soooo drowsy. Got to get some oxygen in my brain!

Gotta change my mood. White, Let the light into my life. Ah, the ocean breeze, the sun on my skin. I know I’ll see Ashton again.

Girl Fight:

Brit to roommate Ava who shows up on Ocean Blvd.:
What are YOU doing here? I can’t believe you have the nerve to wear my blue Georgies. You know they are my favorite pants.


Brit: How dare you wear my blue Georgies? Because of you I had to grab these Georgies. They are much to long for me.

Ava: I´m going to wear those Georgies too if you don´t stop bitching, baby.

Brit: Don’t you call me baby! You stop bitching, bitch! Don´t think I don´t know that you met Ashton behind my back.

Ava: Only to protect you, hon! And by the way, I didn´t call him. He called me. And just so that you know: we made out.

Brit: yeah right, you kissed Asthon as a kind of sacrifice to protect me. Sure!

Ava: Exactly, hon. To show you what kind of guy he is.

Girl Reunion


Ava: You´re still too young for love.

Brit: Did Ashton say that?



Ava: No, but I do. He´ll break your heart and throw you away.

Brit: What if I want my heart broken and want to been thrown away?

Ava: Don´t be silly.




The girls hang out. Brit thinks about everything that Ava said.

Brit: Perhaps you´re right, I´m young. I am only 17 and never had a real boyfriend.





Ava: Let’s get a new perspective!

Girls' Night Out



Ava: Funny, you´re wearing the white Georgies. I´m wearing the blacks.

Brit: Yep, you´re the devil.

Ava: And you´re the angel, hon.



Still friends. Still best friends.

Ava and Brit: Let’s toast to being BFFs!

Georgie Girls Unite!

Ava and Amber Stranded In Downtown L.A.

Tough end to a rad night. Ava and Amber, thrown out of the club at daybreak. Loaded. Girls behaving badly.


Lost on Broadway, no cell phones, no purses. Confused and hung over.
What now? Where am I? Who am I?

Get away from me, man. Get that camera out of my face!

Eckhart shot anyway. He loves the Ann Ferriday collection.

Ava and Amber are wearing it.

Eckhart's Eye On The Famous Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt









The documentarian and cultural critic in Eckhart could not escape the impact of the new t-shirt phenomenon: the Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt. President Barack Obama and Steve Jobs wear it, so does the rest of the world. Available online only from The Mountain company. Eckhart put the famous shirt on two models, photographed against the stark backdrop of nitty-gritty urban Los Angeles. Los Lobos in the City of Angels.

Coming This Summer: "Mulholland Drive"


Eckhart Schmidt has spent a lot of time on one of Los Angeles' most iconic roads, the hill topping Mulholland Drive. Home to Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando, eternalised in many songs by Tom Petty, R.E.M. and Bob Seger, to name a few, inspiring painter David Hockney - the scenic road never fails to intrigue and fascinate.
Eckhart fell in love with the road. The results are a new photo novel and a documentary film.

Art Photo Exhibit:
"Mulholland Drive - Opening Scenes" a photo novel, opening July 10th, 2009 in Munich's renowned Gallerie Hoffman.
The accompanying photo book "Mulholland Drive - Opening Scenes" will be published by Belleville Verlag.

Documentary:
