Steev "Trailer"
About one year ago I attended a weekend-long Creative Capital artist's professional development workshop. We were asked to give a 5-minute presentation about our work. This video is what I created as my presentation. It's a tongue-in-cheek overview of the sort of stuff I do, at least as a maker of motion picture culture.

They Really Want You Guys To Play
created for the Vimeo Weekend Project, weekend of April 3 2010.

Belated Musings About The Beach
Two weeks ago Greta, Josie, and I were in San Carlos, Mexico, on the sunlit eastern edge of the Sea of Cortez. I'm just now getting around to writing a bit about it.
When planning the trip, I wanted to not camp, because the week before I had just had a cold wet camping experience for a few days. I wanted a good ol' semi-luxurious vacation. I've never really done that. My travels have always been about cheapness, and hardship, and doing worthwhile things along the way, like activist projects or making films. For once I just wanted to relax and enjoy myself. We also wanted to be sure to stay at a hotel that allowed dogs. I went online and found a sort of hotel search engine site for Mexico, and one of the criteria was permitting pets. When I chose that criterion, only one hotel in San Carlos came up - this place that looked quite fancy, the Paradiso Resort.

TimesCast: Metaboring
The New York Times has started an innovative new daily video feature called "TimesCast". the idea is that the viewer gets to see a glimpse into the news room and meetings as the paper's staff briefly run through the big stories of the new day.
This at first seems kind of neat until you actually watch it and realize it's actually sort of boring. Newspaper journalists aren't necesarily the most interesting on-camera personalities, and most of the segments are not adding any extra information or juicy behind-the-scenes, making-of angle to the stories.
