Guess Who?
“My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars.”

Mankind Is No Island
Sydney-based film makers Jason van Genderen (director), Shane Emmett (producer), and John Roy (music composer) created this incredible short that just won $20,000 and Best Film at Tropfest NY 2008. It was shot on a total budget of $57, and captured using cellphones, nothing else.

"All around the country, would-be jubilant Democrats are poised in a defensive crouch, voicing way more anxiety than hope about what polls are predicting will be a solid victory for Barack Obama."

China painting factories 07
- In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
