“Baffle their minds with Bullsh*t, Kerry Leigh” will screen at the DC Shorts Film Festival. It’s the largest audience-driven collection of short films in the country. As this is one of the few festivals with content selected by audience, not committee, we were especially happy to make the cut.

Community Supported Film

I shot this congressional briefing for Community Supported Film an organization with an admirable and useful mission:

Training storytellers from poor and developing communities in non-fiction filmmaking and assisting them with the development of their careers as filmmakers and video-journalists
Producing engaging stories from the trainee’s perspective about important social and economic development issues in their communities. These stories counteract the relentless focus of the western media on battlefronts, crises and disasters.
Building a bridge between the community of filmmakers, communities in development and an international community of concerned citizens. This conversation raises awareness about sustainable paths to a more peaceful and equitable world.

Here is a clip from the briefing including a frank discussion with two of their Afghan participants via Skype.
