super 8 travels

It's been a fabulous few weeks of film. Starting with the 6th annual attack here in LA, then off to North Carolina.
Cucalorus, wilmington nc. nov 8-11 My film "cold?" was screened. Many new films, docs at this great festival. My fav pic of the fest: two headed cow

Nov 13, Super 8 workshop - unc chapel hill. Nov. 13. Around 25 students attended my 2 hour super 8 filmmaking workshop held in Swain Hall. We're bringing filmmaking on film back to UNC. If you can learn to tell a story on one roll of super 8 film, that will translate into creating cohesive films on all other mediums and formats. Norwood and Kodak donated 2 super 8 cameras to the lab for students to check out. The UNC film lab now has 7 super 8 cameras for their students. Kodak also donated super 8 film to further kickstart the program. UNC also has a student run video production group - STV, that is dedicated to giving all students a chance to get experience behind and in front of the camera.

Flicker Chapel Hill. Their 61st screening packed over 100 people into the Cat's Cradle. It was a beautiful coincidence that Flicker was happening the one night I was in Chapel Hill. My fav film of the evening was from Flicker Richmond - "The Peritoneal Surfaces are Smooth and Glistening" by Walker Allen.
