Spring Fever!<\/p>\n

It has been a long cold winter, but at last the snow is melting and the Ides of March have passed. Saint\u00a0Patrick’s Day green is announcing springtime everywhere, and things are definitely looking up.<\/p>\n

Current Projects Spring Forward\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good News For Tribal Justice<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We have just received our first production grant for\u00a0Tribal Justice,<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>a Cal Humanities California Documentary Project award, hooray! This is not only a great honor, but will allow us to launch principal photography with our awesome tribal judges Abby Abinanti and Claudette White. You can meet them in the one minute trailer below.<\/p>\n

\"California<\/a><\/p>\n

When we heard the news from Cal Humanities, we were filming the Tribal Court\/ State Court Forum’s annual meeting in\u00a0San Francisco. We showed our ten-minute trailer to sixty tribal and state court judges who were there to discuss best ways of working together. All were very enthusiastic about the trailer, and now eagerly await the film. Next up: springtime shooting in California. What could be better?<\/p>\n

A Necessary Madness:<\/em>
\nThe Art of Wangechi Mutu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wangechi’s survey show, A Fantastic Journey,<\/em>has just left Brooklyn and is wending its way south to the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, where it will open next month. Holland Cotter of the New York Times described the show as \u00a0“visually ravishing \u2026 an apocalyptic version of polymorphic perversity, a shot of the libidinal pleasure the art world so loves along with a series of fast, repeat jabs to the head it deserves.”Well, however you want to describe Wangechi’s work, it will be sure to amaze you and inspire new thoughts about race, culture, and gender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’re hoping that April funding will spring us forward so we can continue filming Wangechi’s endlessly fascinating, fantastic journey for A Necessary Madness.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more news about both of these projects …<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Moonchild<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Still Making a Difference<\/strong>
\n30 Years On<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My first film, Moonchild,<\/a><\/em>\u00a0tells the story of Chris Carlson, a former member of the Moonie cult who plays himself in this drama about his experiences in Sun Myung Moon\u2019s insidious organization. It’s an unsettling story of the exploitation of idealism and the perversion of spiritual values, a cautionary tale that reveals the fluidity of identity and the vulnerability of the human heart.<\/p>\n

\"Moonchild\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This just in from an anthropology professor who is using Moonchild<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in his classroom:<\/p>\n

“I am an anthropology professor at San Jose State University, and for several years now I have used the film ‘Moonchild’ for my course, ‘Thought Control in Contemporary Society.’\u00a0It has very successfully demonstrated to my students how vulnerable we might be to cults.”<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Roberto Gonalez, San Jose State University.<\/p>\n

The Real America\u00a0<\/strong>by Kim E<\/div>\n

This is truly an amazing feat. A great story of a ‘clan’\u2014an American one, which arouses in you a sense of actual<\/em> and factual<\/em>\u00a0history. What up America? This<\/em> is how we should learn about the natives Americans and their history & the progeny. They’re still here! I love it. Love it.<\/p>\n
