A Group That Really Could Use A Blog
This is me putting two and two together.
I am a regular reader of Viewfinder Blues, a blog by a Greensboro photojournalist who lets the rest of us peer through his tv camera lens into his world. Through the list of bloggers he has linked to on his blog I have found a whole bunch of news types blogging and feel like I have a much greater grasp of their world.
In the afterglow of the "48 Hour Misunderstanding" (12 or so blog entries covering a week of info about a 48 hour film contest, that exploded into controversy and died in about 48 hours) I have come to realize that Greensboro has far too few film bloggers. We seem to have hundreds of folks who work and play in some way in the film scene in both local indie fashion as well as big budget flicks. We have five local film schools that I can think of off the top of my head. Yet I can only find two blogs by film folk, Ike Quigley's and Rusty Sheridan's. (Mine I don't count because I am only a part time amature boom operator.)
There is far too much talent and know how in this town not to blog about it.
And in a related note, (probaby should be in its own entry). There is enough talent and resources here in Greensboro that we could put together a week long summer day camp for kids to teach them film making. As one of only a handful of part time amature boom operators in this town I would be thrilled to volunteer my knowledge at such a camp. (Until someone better and professional was found of course.)
