Signing in from Cape Cod

Currently I'm out by the edge of a road in Cape Cod barely holding on to a stray wireless signal :) So i'll make this short. Last week was very amazing. I spent 8 days at a summer camp called camp TLC (Teens Living a Challenge) www.jdaf.org which is available for teens living with HIV/AIDS. We had an amazing screening of Lusaka Sunrise www.lusakasunrise.com and the week as a whole was unbelievable. I hope to upload some of the video and photo's taken from the week very soon. We even created a 6 minute murder mystery short :)

Yet before the week at TLC, I spent an afternoon with my amazing Uncle Henry Hagerty who is a actor/filmmaker in NYC. Over a glorious Thai food dinner on the upper west side we talked about the gift economy. While walking back to his apartment we both realized that one of his most powerful films was in fact created completely in line with the gift economy's principles. Everyone was volunteer, they worked with what was offered to them, and they focused on the power of a small 6-minute message.

So with that said, Henry was floored to add "Easter Clearing" to the Smooth Feather Line up. We're honored and excited to help spread this film's inspiring message.

And if anyone is in Cape Cod, the Smooth Feather Studio, (my laptop) is set up in Harwich until tuesday of next week.

Also our after effects powerhouse Zach Graber www.zgraber.com, has volunteered to create an intro graphic for Smooth Feather. We're very excited to see what he comes up with.


Big Smiles,
Silas
