50Films Project: Creating 50 Short Films in 365 days

I once witnessed an artist embark on and complete an exercise of producing 50 paintings in one year, and this has always stuck with me as something I would like to accomplish. I feel that this level of commitment to an art form will only improve one's skills, and open up new ideas and opportunities. So with public declaration, I embarked on this exercise June 19th, 2009.

These programs are all produced at no charge. I have set 3 goals for this endeavor and they are to:

• Explore and develop new techniques, styles and skills in my craft
• Collaborate and create with other artists and people on projects
• Seek out stories of courage, beauty, community and personal meaning

If you have ideas of people or topics who would be interesting subjects for a short film, please contact me.

June, 2010 Update: 35 Films completed in 365 days. 15 films short of my goal.
This has been an amazing process, and I would highly recommend it to any artist. I have learned many things, met some great people, and supported some great causes. I will continue this process until the 50 are done. Still looking for projects if you have any ideas!
