Pan Left Productions

Here is an article written about Pan Left that was published in New Awakenings magazine.

This morning, while drinking my fair trade, organic Peruvian coffee (Oh!.. Major enviro creds, yo!! Chalk 'em up, bitches!!! -- just kidding), I stumbled across this interesting document from San Francisco-based Roughstock Studios. It's called "Keeping It Real Green: How to Marketing Your Efforts in an age of Greenwashing (LINK)," and it's worth considering in relation to Pan Left Productions' marketing/publicity strategies. See attached PDF if you want a copy of your own.

Exciting trailer for (what I hope will be) an awesome new documentary. Perhaps this is a response to the "slacktivism" of the internet?!

Lefties,

Check out this 8-min piece from the "unapologetic Mexican," Nezua. If you can, people should drop a line in the comments with a link back to Jason, Pan Left, and the Arpaio doc. A lot of activists watch this dude. We should let them know what Jason, et al., are doing!

Thanks to Steev for the link... Check out OpenIndie!

Last summer, I got paid $120 to work a few days as a grip and sound guy for a production crew from Montana. They were hired by my supervisor, Kirk Astroth (the Director of AZ 4-H Youth Development), to produce a science-based short for kids about desert life. Kirk is also behind a larger project called TerraPod. Here's the final piece.

Lately, I've been doing a lot of online (and word-of-mouth) research on a variety of 35mm adapters for digital video. While perusing the web, I stumbled across this comprehensive and highly-informative tutorial that fully explains the physics behind the ubiquitous "Depth of Field" (DOF) issue. For those of you who are just geeky enough to get off on this sort of thing, or if you are also planning on using a DOF adapter at some point in the future, I recommend taking a look at this 20-minute instructional video.

Despair take action!
Besides praying and crying, staying online in the last days of rescue help in Haiti can save lives! My desperate surfing and a message of relief follow:

When StoryCorps came to Tucson last year I naturally thought about interviewing my boss at the time, Sam Behrend, Executive Director of Access Tucson. After he agreed to the interview I quickly booked the appointment and started thinking about what kind of questions I wanted to ask him. This candid interview captured Sam's frustration, his passion, and 25 years of dedication to community media. I'm proud to have worked with him he's cool!
