It's been an honor to have been an advisor, a small part of the SISTERS RISING doc film project. This fantastic film tells the story of six Native American women reclaiming personal and tribal sovereignty in the face of ongoing sexual violence against Indigenous women in the United States.
KAITIAKITANGA: THREE ENDEAVORS IN CONSERVATION O TE TAU IHU is a wonderful project that I feel lucky to have edited for Dawson Dunning.
It's always great, years later, to see the final film when you're just one of its many cinematographers. On SOURCE TO SEA: THE COLUMBIA RIVER SWIM I spent a few days with Chris Swain, just as he was beginning his epic journey.
I ran a camera just one day for PRODIGAL SONS--but it was an interesting day for sure. It was hoot to hear my name is somewhere in the credits.
And here’s a few of the short films I sometimes show in class:
The Shining Star of Losers Everywhere
The Words in the Margins (I can no longer find this wonderful short film online.)
Red Green (I don’t know this great little film’s actual title, or really anything about it. Any info would be great appreciated!)
The Last Farm (I’ve paid $1 for this award-winning film, numerous times on iTunes, but Apple has now lost their mind with Apple Music. This link is to a low-quality rip on YouTube.)
Round About Five (wildcat link—please let me know if you can find an official one)
Zucht (wildcat link)
Evolution (Often copied, but still one of the best one-minute films, IMO).
Bears Ears (A multimedia/VR project backed by Patagonia. Make sure to experience the 360 content!)
And here, in 3 minutes, thanks to Van Draussen, is almost everything I can teach you.
Oh, one of my students just brought in Silva’s Existential Bummer, which is pretty cool (and it preceded Interstellar by a year).
An Implicit Association Test is worth taking.
If you’re a maker, don’t miss Leguin’s 1975 Aussiecon address.
Otherwise, I can’t keep up with everything going on, but here’s a shout out to the Lyric: https://www.thelyric.com/calendar/
