Planet In Focus
LAST WEEK WAS JAM-PACKED with all kinds of eco-events. On top of the Cities Alive North American conference on Green Infrastructure, there was the Planet In Focus Film Festival, 10th anniversary. Planet In Focus holds a special place in our hearts: in addition to providing an important platform for environmental video, it is where Peter, Eduardo, and I all met for the first time. Five years ago, I was screening my film The Red Pill, Eduardo was photographing the event, and Peter was cramming his brain with as much eco-information as possible. We all hit it off, and collaborated on our first joint project, the design of the DVD cover for The Red Pill. In the spring, Eduardo and I joined Green Apple, and we spent the 2005 season in the field with Peter, the three musketeers of construction. Today, all three of us are desk jockeys, but we like to relive the glory days of our youth and catch an eco-flick on occasion to keep current with what’s going on in the world, and what’s going on to the world.
