Countdown to SNAFF table read and screening

-

 


A year ago I was super jazzed to share that a short film I directed and a screenplay I plucked out of my family history were headed for the Southern Iowa short film staple the Snake Alley Festival of Film. Sadly, a certain global minor apocalypse got in the way of that happening. But if the delta variant doesn't ravage the state of Iowa over the next month, it looks like A Widow's Might and Family Tree are all set to take the stage and screen in Burlington next month.

I don't know if anyone was planning on making the trek to the "Backhoe Capital of the World," but if so, mark your calendar for August 5th and purchase your tickets now. Burlington is a lovely town and SNAFF is supposed to be the bees knees. If it wasn't for how busy my life is at the moment I would be staying down there all week for the film festival and all the filmmaker events. Alas, I will probably only make it for my projects and a little bit more.

Tickets are quite reasonable for SNAFF, so if you're on the fence, GO! This is probably the only chance to A Widow's Might produced in any form. Although I would if anyone wanted to stake the budget... If so, you know how to reach me. For everyone else, I'll see you at SNAFF.

FCC to the net neutrality rescue

-
This article was first published by  dmcityview.com In case you haven’t heard, the last couple of weeks have been pretty big concerning the future of the Internet. Net Neutrality, a term that means everything and nothing, depending on your web literacy, was for all intents and purposes cemented in the Federal Communications Commission’s book of regulations. The simple explanation on what this means to you is that the Internet will continue to be the fast-moving, cat meme-filled, pornography-laden super highway it has always been — i.e., no changes. The complicated explanation takes much concentration, so grab a cup of coffee and maybe a protractor because, seriously, this is important. At this point there’s no way around it — we all take the Internet for granted. It is the most important and intricate communication tool ever invented, and every time you turn on a web-enabled device you expect it to be there. Well, truthfully there is no “there” to it. The Internet isn’t a place,...

Tech Talk: Tune in to network TV, but for a fee

-
This article was first published by  dmcityview.com The rise of high-speed Internet and online streaming video over the last decade has definitely shaken the broadcast and pay TV business. While burgeoning Web technology has contributed to lower ratings and dipping revenues, it appears what the TV industry is most afraid of is a tool older than the medium itself, the antenna. Aereo , an online streaming video service, leases customers dime-sized antennas that retransmit locally broadcasted TV content over the Internet. This means someone living in Oregon can lease an Aereo antenna deployed in New York City and watch TV content hours before its broadcast in his or her actual time zone. The streaming video start-up has upset the broadcast TV industry so much, it’s scheduled to defend its legality before the United States Supreme Court in April. Broadcasters are challenging Aereo’s legal right to stream their content online without paying providers retransmission fees. Cable pro...

Continuing Education and the ISU Futures Forum

Last Friday I had the unexpected pleasure of taking pictures for the Iowa State University Greenlee School of Journalism's Future's Forum. A couple week's earlier I was given the photog assignment, but few details except for a handful of choice people to photograph. It wasn't until I showed up that I found out it was a Greenlee event (a school I have a little history with). It turns out the "Futures Forum" is a chance for current journalism students to hear from industry execs, ISU grads in the field and  current  students with unique intern experience. This year's panel was made of a senior editor at Better Homes & Gardens, an Ag magazine exec, an graduate who now works at ESPN and a student who recently interned for Rolling Stone and Maxim. For the majority of the forum I was looking for different photography angles, but after the M.C. held a cheer for the recently deceased and beloved professor, Barbara Mack, and announced the topic, my interes...
