OFS blurb
Here is what Jana and I sent to Audrey (Mckaya and Sean P had a look/listen too) for the OFS quarterly newsletter. We also sent two stills in B and W: one from FSU and one from Lightcrafter. Thanks all.
Media Artist Studio Presents
One Night Only!!
7:00-11:00 Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Come enjoy an evening of innovation and delight within the realm of the moving image. This mini-festival showcases works by students involved in the advanced upper division media program at The Evergreen State College. 17 students working with faculty, Sally Cloninger initiated projects of their own creation that have been influenced by guest artists such as Lynda Barry and Devon Damante, workshops with Peter Randlette and Linas Phillips and inspiration from the wider experimental media community. These short pieces span many genres from live action narrative to experimental nonfiction, from stop motion animation to multi-media installation and performance, from autobiography to character animation. This once in a lifetime opportunity is sure to include something to entertain, engage, and stimulate audiences of all tastes. The first act of the screening is suitable for families and children. Come show your support for this collection of media artists emerging from our own Olympia community. The event is free but we invite donations in support of OFS.

Sounds fantastic. One question though — has it been determined how many of the films will be suitable for the first act? I suppose it depends on the criteria for “family friendly,” but I think unless we’re pretty lenient the adult side might be getting fairly weighted.

Thanks,Sean. You know, I think you are right and I have asked OFS to remove that sentence in the blurb. Hopefully, they can pull it. A child-friendly first act is too limiting re: programming and frankly this is fundamentally an adult show. We will think about how to signal “parental guidance” in our other publicity.
