Yeah, Spring Break
I got some exercise outside yesterday when I shoveled the driveway. Four inches of snow on the first day of spring. I love this town.
Lots of stuff going on though. Almost all of the equipment went out on Friday. The doc center was a mad house. Lots of cool projects going on too. Stuff about family, money, health, art, heartbreak, racism, people, places, things... stuff we would love to get comments about. Please let us know about your project.
I know some people were looking for crew, feel free to use the comments on this thread to recruit people. If you are reading this and don't have anything to do, leave a comment and tell us what days you are available. (leave an email address)
If you are in town, the IFP office has put together Doc-U-Mania - March 29-30 and April 5-6 - 8th floor. The passes are expensive for general admission but Columbia students get a great discount and there is a possibility of Viva Doc people to get in for free if they work a little. Please let us know if you are interested in this opportunity. There are going to be a lot of great doc filmmakers there. I'll post details in the comment section of this post.
I know some of you are going out of town too. We had equipment go out to San Francisco, New Orleans, Belize and Wisconsin this week, I hope you can find time to write us a postcard about what you are up to.
Doc Center - Suite 407
1104 S. Wabash Ave.
Chicago, IL 60605 1996
Also, if you happen across this blog and you aren't from Chicago, We'd love to get a postcard from you too.
Anyway, stay safe. Stay out of trouble and make sure you get some great stories to tell when you get back from break.
