"From the computer screen to the big screen"

One of my videos has been selected to screen at this festival:

June 9th & 10th
American Film Institute (AFI)
Los Angeles, California

The invitation came out of the blue.

I was contacted by a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern California, who said she had stumbled across my videoblog and liked one my clips. She thought it fit with one of the festival's themes: "Making the Familiar Unfamiliar: The Importance of Physical Place in the Vlogosphere."

....I'm so psyched!

Boston Media Makers

I attended my first Boston Media Makers meeting last weekend. And it was awesome.

It was great seeing so many fellow videobloggers and podcasters in person, and hearing about the projects they're working on. I arrived late, and could only stay for an hour and a half...but after the meeting, I had the opportunity to catch what I'd missed through everyone's blogs. Seriously, the coverage of the meeting was impressive: Bryan Person blogged about the meeting; Beth Kanter made a video; David Tames provided an excellent roundup of what was discussed; Chris Brogan snapped photos; Steve Garfield wrote up notes from the meeting......and I'm sure other attendees have blogged about it, too.

The BMM group meets the first Sunday of every month at Sweet Finnish in JP. T

My story about 123 Party was in yesterday's paper....the article is still online, along with the video I made...
