PALESTINE DEMOLITION FOOTAGE?
I'm a film student in City College of San Francisco working on a short doc on Palestinian Home Demolitions by the Israeli military. I need some more demolition footage to finish my film. Does anyone out there have demolition footage I could use or know anyone who does?
Thanks so much for your help.

I saw an early cut of Prodigal Sons about 6 months ago and, while it needed more work, it's an utterly fascinating (very!) personal story. I hear Kim's put narration in so can't wait to see it again.
Yes, it's an incredible story with many twists and turns, and it will benefit from the input of DocuClub's smart and dedicated audience.

Hello again. As i said on my "introduce yourself" post, I'm available for composing original music for interesting documentaries.
Some of my work can be heard on my website at http://www.marioberlinguer.com.
I have a myspace page with some more music, and then another page on NextCat with a couple different things.
Best way to contact me is at "info" and then the @ and then "marioberlinguer.com" (without the " of course).
Thanks and keep up with the good work!
By the way, for those who don't know yet, The D-Word has a MySpace page as well.
And a group on Facebook ...
Help spread The D-Word!
Hmmm, the D-Word is a 34 year old male residing in New York New York. Who knew?
Your city, my age, and John's good karma.
We had to set these things, there was no way to hide them.
I am interested in advice on how to find right person (film maker) and fund a small documentary style effort and what might be interesting goals / benefits that makes it a win/win for company and film producer. Budget would likely be shoestring, but could be an interesting experience.
Example situation:
Say you have a big event every year like MacWorld (AppleWorld) or an auto show (but put on by only one company, not a tradeshow)... you show off your latest products, you launch 2 or 3 new things, and you show a vision of where your company is going (concept cars, or other physical immersive manifestations). You have to entice the media and your top customers to attend and you want to broadcast and create discussion around all 3 parts of this event experience...
I am exploring how a highly experiential event with similar attributes could leverage film/documentary storytelling in interesting, meaningful ways – meaningful to the company, its stakeholders, and the film maker...
Some nice to have goals for company might be:
+ capture people's reactions around new product innovation at large/major event in Eastern Europe (new product concepts around several themes, dramatic event experience in major city, new products being launched, other interesting products being demonstrated/show for sales in both business to business and business to consumer arena)
+ capture value design is adding to business
+ possible interviews with CEO/CMOs from top companies
+ many other areas that could be mutually interesting if discussed... but trying to understand if this might be interesting to a qualified independent film maker or high potential starting out
There could be two cuts... both would likely be very people-focused. But, one could capture essence of business value and the other could be all around creative/design side of things.
Need help getting your doc funded? I've written and gotten grants and fellowships from ITVS, NEA, LPB, Guggenheim, Jerome Foundation, NYSCA, NYFA and more. I can help you make your proposal successful. Email for more information: nicolecattell at gmail dot com.
Nicole, I see from your profile you helped Natalia Almada write a proposal that got her ITVS funding. Nice. Natalia's an old friend – be sure to say hi if you're still in touch. She's also a D-Word member who hardly ever posts, so nag her for me.
Glad to have you here as a member, too. Be sure to say howdy in the Introduce Yourself topic.
Looking for a NW based HDV Camera Operator to do 5-10 days of shoots (monthly) across the country. The shoots are boring and simple, seminars and green-screen standups. Non-doc, just commerce. And you get paid.

Seeking experienced, professional grant writer in Dallas area with high success rate to help fund a major doc project. If interested please make contact asap. Thanks
Hey thanks to all who sent Rome contacts etc- i will pass them onto my friend. I just got back from a week long shoot – so sorry for the delayed vote of thanks !!
If anyone needs sound in LA – drop me a line .
Recently set up this portal to sell iPOD / portable-ready MP4s of my own titles BOOKWARS, SUSAN HERO, and others, and am now offering the platform to other filmmakers who may want to sell MP4 versions (non- DRM) of their work.
No guarantees re: revenue, but probably worth a try, especially for older releases that aren't well repped in the digital space.
Best,

I've emailed you details of a D-Worder in TX who may be the right person for the job.
Hi all, if any of you know a qualified individual who would be interested and available in helping out with film festival submissions and marketing for this feature documentary, please let me know!!!
ABOUT THE FILM
http://www.myspace.com/rappingwithshakespeare
A feature doc on five students at Crenshaw High School who express teen life in South Central LA through a mix of hip-hop and Shakesearean literature. Directed by Emmy Award-winner Michael King.
WHO YOU WILL BE WORKING WITH
The producer/exec producer who has plenty of contacts and experience in the TV, music, and film business. You might work with me a bit if I stay with the project and/or if I end up training you.
PRIMARY DUTIES: KEEP UP WITH FILM FEST DEADLINES
Manage and update Withoutabox.com acct
Help maintain calendar of film fest dates, deadlines, fees
Submit/send films and fees to film festivals; meet deadlines
Communicate with film festivals to request deadline/submission fee waivers
This is the top priority but in the event that the film gets accepted to a fest, you'll need to help out with publicity work ranging from updating our Myspace and website to making calls to radio stations. Please contact me if you're interested or have more questions. We are looking for someone who is flexible and follows through with tasks. Help out with as much as you can, and whatever you can't do, let us know and we can work something out. I started with the internship not long ago and it has been a great experience. My availability has changed so I am looking for an assistant/replacement. Thanks!!
