Working on Often Awesome the series the past two years has changed me into an advocate and agent of awareness to pass the message about this horrible disease. Please help us spread awareness and help the world understand that we need to research and find a cure.
You see the signs on busy street corners and you have your own ideas on what is behind the sign. This short film takes you behind the sign and educates you about what life is like for the homeless in a medium size city.
“What’s Behind The Sign?” Came in first place in the first annual Welfare Reform Liaison Project: Copycents Film Festival.
This short film was produced and shot by some of the students that enrolled in the program I teach at. I’m so proud of them and all the participants. Keep in mind this is the first film that they have ever shot, edited and produced. An accomplishment that really humbles me.
A great article in the News & Record about the event. Check it out if your curious about where I’m working at and what we are striving to do.

This is the story that I found…
Side notes:
I look back and still can’t believe the story that I told. Telling this story changed the way I looked at politicians and people with power and money.
As a professional I look back and cringe on how I shot this. The first time I ever picked up a camera for an interview was with Willena for this documentary. I had no idea how to compose a shot. I also learned that I can’t do everything and have embraced collaborating with others.
All in all this was a story that lit a fire in me and I had to tell it. “Greensboro: Closer to the Truth,” is another documentary that beautifully tells the story of the survivors of The Greensboro Massacre and how the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission played a part in the healing process years later.
If you are near Auburn University I will be showing this film on campus look for it at Auburn University’s Haley Center Auditorium room 2370. I will be available after the screening to discuss the film.
For Greensboro residence, on Wednesday, November 4 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. the Greensboro Historical Museum and the Greensboro Public Library are hosting a screening of Adam Zucker’s documentary Greensboro: Closer to the Truth, about the 1979 Klan and Nazi killings. A panel discussion will follow the film with Adam Zucker.
You can also listen to the podcast of Adam and myself talking about our documentaries.
This past weekend I was hired to assist with audio on a documentary with Steven Ascher with West City Films, INC.. Steven and his production company have been working on this documentary since 2003 and I came in towards the end to help him out.
I’ve met the subjects of the film and all I can say this is going to be a great film. All the people are sweet and I can’t wait to see this film. Steven contacted me earlier this year to see if he could use some footage from my documentary, “Greensboro’s Child” in his film. I couldn’t find the original footage but I did have some from the original timeline and it seemed to workout and will make the final cut of his film which will premiere on HBO next year.
I feel honored that I met Steven and hope to have begun a new friendship in this amazing career field.

So Much So Fast
Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films produced this film that every American should see. I only hope that we as citizens of this great country pay closer attention to our government and their actions. Someday soon while we still have a secure internet, someone will create an RSS feed that will hold all of our elected officials accountable on how they vote. Not only that but have their employment record to see if they have ties with elite corporate companies that are trying to sway bills in Congress. How soon? I hope soon enough before this great nation gets out of hand. Think while you watch.
