Submissions for Hurricane Sandy Transmedia Project: Stories, images and video wanted

March 21, 2016

During Social Media Week in New York in February, Red on Black Productions will showcase the stories of New Yorkers’ experiences during Hurricane Sandy through the mobile storytelling platform, Moveable Feast.

We are looking for the stories of those who experienced the storm first hand as well as the hundreds of volunteers who came to help from all over the country. Though we’ve heard stories told by the news, we want to capture these stories first hand through video and audio recordings to share with those in New York and around the world.

Though this is a free experience, we’re using these first hand stories to encourage donations to Sandy Relief and the Red Cross.

If you are interested in sharing your story, please send an email on contact@redonblackproductions.com. If you would like to send in your own recording of your story, that would be fantastic but we would be happy to record it ourselves. We’re also looking for images and video capturing Hurricane Sandy and aftermath to accompany the stories.

Deadline: February 1, 2013

REWRITING AS A DIRECTOR: How to Tackle the 2nd Version of Your Film

There are three versions of a film: the one you write, the one you direct, and the one you edit. When you are in screenwriter mode, you don’t imagine rewriting as you paint the picture of the perfect film in your head. But once you get into the directors chair, things begin to change.

When do you choose to give over to creativity?

Having a free afternoon in Paris, I decided to take advantage of the day and hit up the Musee D’Orsey. It’s one of my favourites with it’s huge collection of Art Nouveau furniture and full floor of impressionist paintings.

Why can’t it be Art if I make it for an audience

I am an artist. There. I said it. But I also make films and write articles for specific audiences. I told that to someone at a SXSW film drinks and they told me that thinking about an audience meant I wasn’t making art. I’m sure she would have also said if I made money, then that also wasn’t art.
