And The Winner Is…

Released to Life.

The first winner of the Washington’s Best Film Competition, a contest co-sponsored by the Mayor’s office and SnagFilms.

We are proud of all of the work we received and very proud of the filmmakers who won for a very moving 16 minute documentary film called Released to Life.

The student filmmakers are all from George Washington University.

Today we all attend an event with Mayor Gray, the President of George Washington University, my friend Frank Sesno and hundreds of other local VIP’s to view the film and discuss filmmaking here in the Nation’s Capital.

Here is the film in its entirety on SnagFilms.com plus a news release and credits for the winning documentary.

Fugazi Live Series

Here is a terrific website from the band with a digital archive of hundreds and hundreds of shows.

This is from Dischord Records and is well done. It includes a private payment system and is very fair as to its value offered. Poke around and enjoy if you are a fan of this band’s history and their realism and being so authentic and true to themselves.
