Dear Blogger Followers: the End of an Era

Dear friends,

The end of my blogger era is already coming. I will be graduating to wordpress in order to create something more "websity" rather than my current random storytelling in reversed chronological order. The change will occur next Monday June 21st.

Chances that the “followers” function from blogger won’t move to wordpress. I don’t want to loose you! Please follow me on wordpress! The domain name will still be www.emissionimpossible.tv.

Looking forward to your visit to my new “house” :)

Ranting during interview breaks in California

Hello,

Just getting over a pretty potent case of jetlag after California. It started quite roughly when my volunteer cameraman dislocated his shoulder on the eve of my arrival making me the driver - researcher - secretary - interviewer - sound person AND cameraman for the 12 interviews I ended up doing...

I met incredibly good people...and as soon as I can figure out how to edit the @##$%$?%?* footage in a #$%?*## expensive and fancy editing software, I will post some interview teasers. In the meantime, here’s a good old imovie edited flip filmed ranting session when my interviewee Carter Brooks turned the camera on me during break time...

Status update

Tomorrow I set off for my 9 days interviewing bonanza in the San Francisco area for the Emission Impossible documentary.
Checklist:

interviews: 6 confirmed, even more in the air
cameracrew: fellow documentary maker who volunteered for it through independent filmmaker network TBC
equipment: got it, don't really know how to work it but it all fits in a single backpack
car: test driving a hybrid -woohoo!
place to stay: friends of business partner of friend of boyfriend's family friend
enthusiasm and innocence: a ****load
nervousness and fear: just as much
... to be continued...

Countdown to first round of interviews in California

I don't have too much time to write as I am now officially on bridesmaid duty for my cousin's wedding in L.A. The last few weeks have been hectic running around, organizing and getting equipment I knew nothing about a month ago. I interviewed Matt Pawa, the 'Erin Brokovich of climate change' in his garden last Sunday whilst a little rabbit hopped around in his backyard. I felt like I was in the presence of a real life hero.
I start interviewing professors, entrepreneurs and investors next week in Northern California, wish me luck!

The Global Warming "Conspiracy" and McDonaldgate: response to interview with Charlie

Ha! So the take away point: I'm interviewing a lawyer suing ExxonMobil in Kivalina vs. ExxonMobil and others, if you would like me to ask him a certain question, post a comment at www.emissionimpossible.tv, youtube or email at emissionimpossibletv@gmail.com.
Thanks and Go Habs Go,

the Love Police and the McDonald confession

It's my kind of karma that the once in a year occasion that I am hungry and late enough to ditch all my beloved principles for a quick nasty McDonald chicken sandwich I get interviewed about it the same day... oh well.

Anyway, here is my first official interview by the Love Police. I'm a bit traumatized by the youtube comments on the video (1) Climate change is very real. 2) I do NOT have a unibrow), but thanks to Charlie for bringing me all these new friends (hi guys!).
Ok, back to getting equipment and interviews ready for California...



Ciao!

Admin, randomness and selling my clothes for funding

So, unfortunately, I've had no time to make a video this week as I spent it all on administrative duties, documentary workshops where I learned that my career prospects include severe starvation and got me dizzy with all the techie details about camera specs. I've also had to sort which ones of my shirts I will be selling to fund my documentary trip to California - for real. Under duress, I've also decide to turn my hobbies into a micro-documentary funding venture by going to sell my handcrafted (recycled / sustainably produced of course) vintage charms along with my clothes at the Hackney Wick Flea Market. Told you it was random...
Have a good week-end!
