I really enjoyed the recent presentation on student films. I wanted to talk about this site but thought it might be better if I could just show the class over the blog. One of my best friends since I was a child used this website/tv show to get his films out there. After getting his 6 minute film on Current tv's VCC(viewer created content) section he was hired by the Travel channel. This is really the next step in student films, getting paid(or garnering funding for the next film) and getting attention of different studios. He has been down in Louisiana doing films on the impact of Katrina over the long term.
He filmed all of this while working on a documentary on Capoeria. He found the job through Idealist.org an amazing website that connects people wanting to work for non-profits. It is one more way for people to gather their resources and combine their ideas to benefit others.
Here is the next video he has been working on its really amazing work as well.
