The Cinequest 22 Media Launch Party was held at the beautiful San José Athletic Club. Elegantly clad attendees walked up a red carpet to the Corinthian Grand Ballroom where a lavish spread awaited. After guests partook in nibbles and beverages, the presentation began with a word from NBC's new weather caster. Then, festival director and co-founder, Halfdan Hussey, introduced this year's festival line-up. The theme this year is Neverending Passion. The Bay Area is full of people who have used their passion to create, innovate, and empower.
   
One thought he expressed that rang true, was his concern that as the festival grows ever larger, that they still maintain their high quality. While it is true that some organizations grow too fast to manage things well, I hope the staff remembers to keep the approachability that makes Cinequest so accessible.
Again, there are more interesting films during the festival than any one person can sanely consume, but I hope to make a good showing this year. Maybe I'll see you there.

We air on CreaTV in San Jose. Before CreaTV took over the community station from the city of San Jose, we had the same time slot for many years: alternate Thursdays at 10:30 pm. The change in management is one of the best things to happen to the station. CreaTV transformed an opaque, confusing organization into something vibrant.
One of the changes they decided on, more recently, was to begin holding an annual time slot lottery. Every year, every program would be drawn in a random order. The program could pick the time slot of their choice from those available. This gives all programs an equal chance to get the most desired time slots.
Of course, this is something to which the more enduring shows objected. Change is scary. It was an uncomfortable feeling to let your time slot go to chance. It is very fair, however, for both established and newer programs. We've been eyeing a slightly earlier spot, and now we have the chance to get it. Also, perhaps a different audience will begin to watch your program because they weren't available at your old time.
At any rate, we'll need to keep you posted every year on what our time slot is, and when any change may take effect. Stay tuned. |

Andrew interviews Nate Moore and AJ Viramontes, who are members of the Silicon Valley Sport and Social Club, as well as Mark Sanders, an instructor at Great Jump Sports. Moore and Viramontes play the same traditional dodgeball most of us did in school. Sanders, on the other hand, works with people who play dodgeball on trampolines! Each variation has its perks.
