Sundance, 2010
Just getting to Utah. And then to Sundance which is in Park City (airport is Salt Lake City). We tried to submit the short Asylum in 2007. That was the last time I was here. No film this time, though no shortage of ideas. Little time for film with Voyage.tv which has been a whirlwind of production both on the web and in terms of the programming we’ve shot over the past year.
Skiing Lake Minnewaska
Another weekend and another warrior get-away: Lake Minnewaska (again). Didn’t have to go too far — Minnewaska is about two hours north of NYC, and at least there was snow. Rock and Snow on Main Street in New Paltz provided the skis, boots and poles for I think $17, and you can pick up virtually anything you need there for this trip or any trip really.
Things to do in denver…
when diverted…well they didn’t let us off the plane. And they never told us what the passengers “medical emergency” was exactly. I just all wish him the best and hope whatever it was, that it wasn’t communicable. We fly, we take risks, we trust people with our lives and well being not knowing who they really are nor how qualified they may or may not be…And while I’d love to simply drop in a perfect quote right “here” from the movie, “Things to do in Denver when You’re Dead”, I can’t find one…so, we took off, didn’t spend an hour. Got gas and took off…yep
Coming Correct, Almost
Watching a movie like Rabbit Proof Fence (image above from the film) one could get the idea that the issues of indigenous peoples are more history than current news. But Australia manages to confound that idea (though they have plenty of company). A recent article article in today’s Guardian, Australia’s ‘stolen’ children get apology but no cash should keep us informed that while these problems may have been solved in some senses the repercussions remain as does the legacy of injustice. There is an on-line apology for that injustice which has collected some 24,000 that looks woefully inadequate.
