MN FILM COMMUNITY: CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS TO SUPPORT PRODUCTION INCENTIVES

This is not an “arts” issue; it’s a jobs issue. Minnesota film community: It’s time to contact our elected state officials and urge them to support two measures on production incentives in the 2019 legislative session.

1. An appropriation to fund the current rebate incentive at $10 million. This request will go through the jobs committees of the House and Senate.

2. A bill to establish a transferable tax credit incentive. This request will go through the tax committees of the House and Senate.

Governor Walz will issue his budget recommendations to the Legislature next week, so it's critical that he and state senators + reps hear from supporters! Find more info + talking points on MN Film & TV’s web site: https://mnfilmtv.org/incentives/advocacy-2019/

AUDIO POST FOR DOCUMENTARY FEATURE: QUEENS OF THE REVOLUTION

It’s been a pleasure to edit and mix post audio on the documentary feature “Queens of the Revolution”, directed by Rebecca Heidenberg. A portrait of Mejunje, a cultural center in Santa Clara that paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights in Cuba, the film highlights the bravery of people who have fought for their lives and identities for decades. Meandering through the streets of Santa Clara, into the homes of drag performers and on to the stage, the film tells the story of Mejunje through a chorus of voices. This community was violently persecuted but instead of fleeing, its members chose to stay and fight for change in the country they love. This story is not about victimhood, but about resilience, resistance, and survival. More info at koanfilms.com.

BOX FOLEY

More Foley for the educational video series-- this time, sweetening for a moment when a character drops a box of candy on the floor. I was going for a multi-impact "flam" (fa-thump, more than one hit) instead of a single impact. And achievement was in fact unlocked.
