Mission Mission

This alley pigeon is sitting between bird spikes and canoodling with a plastic owl. In the war on pigeons, we are losing.

This is the most amount of broken records ever observed on the sidewalk by me.

Who is trying to cover it up? Why don’t they want you to know about it?? Where are the aliens now???*

March 2011. And that ends today. Muni Diaries puts together a nice look back at the paper Fast Pass through the ages.

We previously had Banksy Fever and maybe he did some jeans shopping.

FUTURESTATES is an ITVS (Independent Television Service) project which asks filmmakers from around the country to make a short film projecting a possible future for their city. For the first season I produced Tanuj Chopra’s PIA, which looked at the personal issues of San Francisco’s android population. The second season is now rolling out and I was lucky enough to be a producer on Remigration, a vision of the future for San Francisco’s working class, by local filmmaker Barry Jenkins’ (Medicine for Melancholy).

Tonight at Public Works (161 Erie Street, near Mission) ITVS holds their launch party for the new series. Two of the shorts will be screened, and series manager Karim Ahmad will lead a Q&A with writer/director Jenkins. The event is free, but you have to RSVP here.

Check out the Remigration trailer below, and you can also see the full (20 minute) movie here!
