Reporter - Intense trailer

Reporter is “the documentary that follows NY Times reporter Nicholas Kristof to Congo and probes the depth of the West’s sympathy fatigue level while daring us to not take any high ground but actually sit on some ground, some real, painful ground.” – Art Threat

The trailer is incredibly intense and I have yet to see if the film lives up to its standards. Reporter attempts to present a powerful call to action that helping the Congolese is just a click away. Perhaps…

If you get a chance please go to the Reporter site to learn more about what most people are not telling you. Then go check out Art Threat - a web magazine about politics and the arts.

And the Winner is…

The July Poster Giveaway has ended and the winner is DJ Justice! Go to his website “the art of justice” and check out some of his work like the wonderful photograph to the left. On his site you will find an artist statement that begins, “Some people find it odd that I was nearly 40-years-old before I did my first painting.” I found those words inspiring and quite intriguing. He also notes a quote from Van Gogh that may motivate you to strive for your goals, “If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.”

Thanks for everyone who participated in the giveaway! There are some big changes coming to this site and more free giveaways. I have also begun serious work on my new film and will keep you informed on the exciting details.
