san francisco minute
Knowledge is power. Despite the fact that there exists people who want to supress and censor those with alternative viewpoints- or those who keep others from participating in a medium where information can be freely accessed, I have started producing a series of short segments, along with my colleague, Colleen Taylor about various issues in the City of San Francisco, covering politics, trends, music, and the various subcultures that never receive news coverage in traditional media.
Our initial intent was to focus on non-partisan coverage of the 2007 Mayoral Race, however, working with Colleen, we decided to expand from our original position to also include other areas in which we explore the particular issues relevant to the city of San Francisco.
San Francisco is a unique city, progressive in its politics and often considered the left capital of the United States. However, it is still relatively a newcomer when considering the amount of resources available for filmmakers and those who work in media when compared to Los Angeles and New York City. We spoke to Mayor Gavin Newsom last Saturday on what he is committed to doing to help the future of those who work in new media.
According to Mayor Newsom, information, including those on the internet and broadband should be accessible to all.
