Donations: reminder to give money and why
- We are a video collective/ Community media project
Local collective that films stuff in the activist community
- We do peer learning/ SHaring Skills and resources
- We believe that there is a strong need for independent media, sharing resources so that the voice of the unheard will be heard.
- Sharing stories that are not reported by mainstream media, or not well reported
- We think everyone is capable of making good films
- We do activist media but not only; We'd like to allow for folks to tell stories from their unique points of view
- Nothing is more subversive than your imagination, so we believe that our project is revolutionary
- What we've done so far: Videos for the Omni (crowdfunding one shot walkthrough of the omni) / Protests, working with OGC + Documentary on gentrification, Pedie video
