We Tell Stories in Trouble

One of the community arts groups that we work with a lot is We Tell Stories. They have been cut out from $150,000 that they usually get doing education with the Los Angeles School District and are in desperate need of money to carry them to next year where they have some projects that will begin that will get their income up enough to pay for their staff.  If you could help them out I know they would appreciate it, they are very worried.

100 Years of a Hemet Presbyterian Church

This is a very cool 15 minute video that we finished during the Super Bowl for the 100th Anniversary Celebration that the First Presbyterian Church of Hemet is having this weekend. It started in December 1908 when Hemet was just beginning as a town. We talked to the historian at the church, the choir members, current and past pastors and church members. The high point of the church was in the 1970s when they built a very large and modern church in place of the old church. They are having a harder time than they used to now that everyone in Hemet is getting foreclosed on and people are moving away like crazy. There are less people and more social problems to deal with. Watch it during your lunch break!

O Come All Ye Faithful at Long Beach State

David and I went to the Beach for the Winter Festival Concert 2008! We were invited once again to film the concert for President F. King Alexander of California State University Long Beach. This was the first year the students in the music studies program were able to perform bearing the name of the Bob Cole Conservatory. This concert combines the Bob Cole Conservatory students with also the other choirs who are from any major at CSULB. If you aren’t a conservatory student all one must do is try-out for the part to be a part of the concert. Not that trying out is easy! So sit back and enjoy 3 excerpts from the Winter Concert 2008! Enjoy!
