Anyone have a contact for SF Filmmaker Mike Shannon?
Info here:
Mr. Shannon has been an independent filmmaker since starting Film School at San Francisco State University in 1967. In 1972 he won First Prize Award in the Berkeley Independent Film Festival in the Experimental Category for his film Lucky 4's, which was the first independent short ever produced using bipak printing techniques on the J-K Optical Printer System. Between 1982 and 1987, starting with Poltergeist and ET and finishing with Howard the Duck, Mr. Shannon worked on every ILM special effects show. In 1996 Mr. Shannon started producing short movies on Hi8 and DV for his project SF TimeCap 2000, an interactive video time capsule on DVD. This project is unique in that it contains over 19 hours of professional quality "Street Documentaries" on a myriad of SF events, protests, cultural and sub-cultural themes. There are over 200 separate, discrete movies contained in this DVD ranging in length between 1 and 40 minutes. These movies were edited over a one year period by a team of nine editors trained in the CCSF Film Program.

Dear all at a.m.,
We have some of George Kuchar's classroom melodramas here at LUX (in
London!) : http://lux.org.uk/collection/artists/george-kuchar
For his later work (and generally for his work) VDB in Chicago is the best
source - his prolificity didn't prevent them from distributing his work in
a very thorough way : http://www.vdb.org/artists/george-kuchar
Even if the screenings at a.m. are free, if you are planning to show
George's work and do not want to rent it from one of his distributors,
you'll need to get in touch with the Kuchar Estate (Michelle Silva) for
permission.
In any case : well done for the programme so far ! You've organised so many
great screenings recently and a Kuchar screening is always welcome news.
With best wishes,
Maria

Dear Shumona,
I had one made in San Francisco. Also 11 minutes, also $150 and also discounted through a festival. This is the lab:
>>> ZAP Zoetrope Aubry Productions
>>> 39 Mesa Street - Production Suite One
>>> San Francisco Film Centre
>>> San Francisco, CA 94129
>>> Direct: 415-373-0541
>>> Main: 415-788-7900
>>> Fax: 415-788-7901
My contact over there was Kim Aubry. I am very happy with the DCP.
Good luck!
Shambhavi
