2009-10-29 04:28:00 Getty Images photoBy Alexia Elejalde-RuizRedEyeEarly on in "By the People," a behind-the-scenes documentary chronicling Barack Obama's presidential campaign, viewers meet Ronnie Cho, a field organizer making calls from a cubicle in an Iowa campaign office.The office is almost empty, reflecting a time, at the start of the Democratic primary, when many had never heard Obama's name."It's surreal to think that at one point I had to beg and plead for people to come to a house party in Iowa to meet him," Cho said.

Intent We live in a culture in which products are designed to be consumed and disposed of in volume.

Sonny Boy Williamson I Documentary Clips
2009-05-12 09:01:00 Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 5 (1945-1947)Here is a short documentary film on the life of Sonny Boy Williamson, a pioneer of blues harmonica playing. Sonny Boy Williamson (John Lee Curtis Williamson, was born on 30 March 1914 and he was murdered on 1 June, 1948. He was first popular harmonica player to use the name Sonny Boy Williamson.The film clips below give excellent bio information of Sonny Boy Williamson and shows photos of him and his wife. I think that this film is important because I have noticed that some modern blues fans don't know that difference between Sonny Boy Williamson and Rice Miller. And I believe as a harmonica player it is important to study the playing of Sonny Boy Williamson.Sonny Boy Williamson I @SqueezeMyLemonSonny Boy Williamson I @Amazon.com

I'm teaching "Making the Short Documentary" at UCLA Extension
2009-03-12 17:08:00 After having such a great experience teaching "Producing Documentaries" last year, I'm teaching a new course at UCLA Extension that I've designed. We're going to be making making individual short non-fiction films over the course of the term, and I'm really very excited about it.We're going to be spending a lot of time showing rough cuts and works-in-progress in class, and I'm hopeful that the students that enroll will end up producing some exceptional work. This is a fantastic chance to either make a stand-alone short documentary, or to make a piece that can be used (at least partially) as a promotional tool to raise funds for a feature-length documentary.I can't wait for the term to begin. The class has open enrollment, so I encourage anyone interested in making documentaries to enroll. I'll be teaching all the fundamentals that go into making feature-length documentaries as well, so this class will be a great immersion into the whole process.See you on Saturday, April 4th...

Can You Immobilize Yourself with Too Many Questions? - Documentary Review:
2008-11-18 16:58:00 Documentary Review: Searching for Debra Winger (2002) by Rosanna ArquetteRating: B+This documentary is referenced in several books on women and career. I finally requested a copy from my library. When people talk about this documentary, they often sum it up as a film about how aging female actors survive in Hollywood. I think this grossly underestimates the applicability for those of us outside of Hollywood. This film is sensitive, personal, and brave. I am delighted that Arquette took the time to interview a few dozen successful women who demonstrate that there are still struggles in managing their career even if they are super-stars.Arquette interviews many successful actors including: Meg Ryan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jane Fonda, Sharon Stone and finally Debra Winger. Her interviews focus on what matters most for many women "How can you achieve balance in your life?" "Can we have it all?" She nearly asks. "How do we balance career and family?" "How can you live with th...
