hello everyone, here's my intro to the list.

i am from whispered media, a video activist 
collective in San Francisco, and working with the 
sf bay area imc. i was a co-founder of whispered 
media in 1996 and the Video Activist Network in 
1997. i worked actively on earth first! 
anti-logging and road blockading campaign in 
Idaho called Cove/Mallard which got me interested 
in using video to support direct action and for 
public education.

in 1999 i worked on a video called The Pie's The 
Limit about the pie-throwing tactics and 
motivations of the Biotic Baking Brigade (BBB) 
which covers the pieings of Milton Friedman, SF 
Mayor Willie Brown, Monsanto CEO Robert Shapiro, 
Billl Gates, Maxxam/Pacific Lumber CEO Charles 
Hurwitz and Chevron CEO Kenneth Derr.

In mid 1999 we started organizing video activists 
to go to Seattle for the WTO meetings and we 
helped plan and produce the first IMC 
collective/collaborative video called Showdown in 
Seattle: Five Days That Shook the WTO, which was 
really just a long compilation of segments 
produced for daily broadcast but saw many more 
audiences via grassroots screenings around the 
world. Also worked on Breaking the Bank about the 
IMF and WB, another indymedia production, and 
then Boom: The Sound of Eviction, which went back 
home to the Mission District in San Francisco to 
look at the globalization connection as it 
relates to one particular and very diverse 
working class neighborhood  whose community 
successfully fought evictions and gentrification 
during the heady days of the dot com boom.

We also worked collaboratively on doc We 
Interrupt This Empire... about the successful 
March 20th  (2003) day of action to shut down San 
Francisco's financial district at the official 
start of the latest Iraq war. This was produced 
in association with the San Francisco IMC before 
the split. We all share the same suite in the 
historic redstone building in the mission 
district along with other good people.

cheers,
mark
