EBX 24hr film festival

Last week, the East Bay Express held its annual 24-Hour Film Festival. Seven teams were challenged to make a film of up to five and a half minutes in 24 hours. Each team was given a basic scenario, nine props in which to choose six, and a line of dialogue selected at random that could be spoken or visually displayed.

Screenings and judging of the films took place on Earth Day, April 22, at Chabot Space & Science Center. Judges included Peter Sahaidachny from Ex’pression College for Digital Arts; Eric Havel from Chabot Space & Science Center; and Stephen Buel from East Bay Express.

Thanks to all who participated!

First Place:

Team 4: Yak, Golly the Rainmaker

2nd Place (tie):

Team 6: The Visible Theater, EBX-2087
Team 1: Dirt Factory, Our Future Is Today

WordCamp SF

I attended WordCamp this year in San Francisco, CA. The all-day event took place at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. Then there was a cool party at Pier 38 on the Embarcadero where I was lucky enough to meet the founder of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg.

San Francisco Apple Store Showcase

This past Thursday I took a group of about a dozen students from Ex’pression College to the San Francisco Apple Store to present their work and portfolios in the theater. This was actually the third time that I’ve done this, but it was by far the best showing.
