AIRPORT BUDDY is from the archives recorded maybe 5 years ago. In those days I was just shooting myself. (Notice what has now become much more sophisticated multi camera vlogs.)
This episode came after some traveling and remembering an experience like this.

My team and I just came back from the COLUMBIA GORGE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. The leadership of the festival was so professional and so much more. Ed Keller [www.edifyproductions.com] and Kirsten Bakke did a fantastic job of representing and recording us in this wonderful venue.

We had a lovely, lively and warm welcome from Breven, Tim and Suzie, as well as so many others at our first film festival acceptance experience up in Washougal, Washington. Wonderful, creative and very accessible people greeted and played with us during our three days there. The festival was loose, friendly and easy with good food, good cheer, good films and great camaraderie. In it’s 8th year now, it is quite organized and easy to maneuver.

On the trip to the festival, we took a couple of days each way, to visit beautiful natural places and capture image and work on our next project(s). While there, we worked on many interviews with fellow filmmakers whenever we could throughout the festival. There were many easy moments with very willing and impressive people. We got some nice feedback on our work and many opportunities for further follow-up. There was deep and important work represented at the festival, there is still much important, earth influencing and sincere meaningful work yet to be done and we are inspired to be part of it.

As the festival was drawing to a close, on the last day there were awards given out. We were totally taken by surprise to win the award for CGIFF’s 2015 SHORT DOCUMENTARY. A beautifully handcrafted glass award in the shape of a multicolored “G”. How appropriate! Don Macken editor, film maker and musician is to be thanked for his contributions on two scenes as well as Jeff Stanley [www.jeffstanley.net] for music on two other scenes. It was a thrilling end to a thrilling experience. Within one wonderful weekend we have been catapulted from relative obscurity to award winning film makers!

Here’s the final version and now world premiered of GREELEY’S NATURE:

Most of the problems we have today in America stem from a government that is unresponsive and uncaring about what we the people want to do, have, get or need. One reason for this is that those politicians that run that government do care about the corporations that give them almost all their money. The corporations then are able to get what they want done regardless of what we the people my want or need. So if we took that corporate money out of their hands and gave them our money we’ve already paid with our taxes we might have a level playing field and the politician would need only response to we the people. There is a way to do this. Simply make all national and state elections paid for with about $2 to $10 dollars a year, sliding scale according to wealth, additional tax per citizen. That fund and the third party surveillance to keep it honest, would give each and every politician in each race the same amount of money to run on. No personal money, no corporate money, no individual money, no money, perks or promises from lobbyists or anyone else could be used in the election. Thus creating a truly democratic system as our founding fathers intended and we need now!

This is a 30 second commercial I made for the MAYdayin30 video contest to express this idea succinctly.

hope this comes close to what you’re looking for…..

This was the contest it was made for….. [wonder what happened to it?]

COWSPIRACY

This is the fundamental issue of our time.  It is what we humans are doing to destroy our planet.   Until now it’s been an almost completely unknown, at least by me.    Look at this movie and I believe you will agree with me.
