City Island Says, "Adieu Ezra Miller"

.:. Faux Press Kit .:.

It's a tradition that after an actor's last scene the company will pause to say, "Congratulations and adieu." Director Raymond De Felitta made sure this moment of Ezra Miller's final set moment was captured as a motion picture. My camera was the one most handy so it was rather left to me to put it together. Here it is, with Raymond's fine piano artistry behind.

Ezra's a total shining star - in every way - and we all wish him the best, always.

Perfect.

Hi there. It's Jan. Welcome to "The World's Longest Open Love Letter" Introduction.

If you're at this page it's because I or someone involved with making this project invited you here. You were invited because you're a survivor, someone who loves a survivor, or a health / social services professional. First and foremost, I'm sorry that's the case. Truly, deeply sorry. Well, mental health professionals excepted.

My hope is to facilitate an audio/video/text/still image space in which we can all learn together how to make lemonade out of the lemons of emotional, sexual and physical violence. By thinking and talking about it, using the very effective medium of motion pictures, still images, text, and sound.

I've spoken to a few folks by telephone now (see blog post update HERE). The first thing that should happen after you decide you might want to participate, is for us to conduct a telephone call. See how it feels. You can call any time: 862-571-5334

Please feel free to edit this page as you see fit. It's just like any other word processing program you ever used, except that it has a retrievable 'history', including editors' login names.

Nobody gets in here without an invitation and phone conversation first.

Don't worry about making mistakes since any mistakes may be easily fixed.

I should be honored if you would make yourself at home.

You'll notice that I'm being rather open about who and where I am. Decided not long ago that if I was unafraid, I should be wholly unafraid. The easier for you to figure out if I am who and what I say I am.

Jan

P.S. Here's my résumé in PDF.

Film maker premises:

That at some point, healing requires a witness. This project can fulfill that purpose for some good people out there.
That family & friends don't really GET how / if to maintain a dialog with survivors. I want to explore that.
That dealing with depression is as much a 'craft' as knitting and may therefore be taught.
That each survivor requires different healing strategies at different times, and is unique in their recovery direction & speed.
That survivors and their loved ones can benefit from conversations about successful and unsuccessful healing paths already taken.
That mental health professionals and survivors can benefit from candid Web 3.0 social networking conversations.
That issuing this documentary as a video blog - with short sections released as they are made - will be of help in creating a feature-length documentary; that extant short pieces of the longer work will give survivors first-hand knowledge that this is a safe environment in which to speak frankly about what it means to be a survivor and techniques for surviving well.
That there will be lots of survivors who will speak freely if they are given an option for anonymity.

Questions for Survivors

What's your name - if you care to share it. It's of paramount importance you feel safe to speak your mind.
If not, why not, and what name may we use to address you here?
How much information are you comfortable sharing? Please state exactly what we may say about who and where you are.

(We ask the above questions for security reasons, out of respect for those who will require varying levels of anonymity.)

Describe your healing path thus far.

First steps toward healing
The 'best things" you ever did to heal
The "worst things"

To whom do you speak regularly and comfortably about your history / healing?
Who knows you're a survivor?
- Friends?
- Family?
- Significant other?
- Colleagues?
Under what circumstances have you told people about your history?
Is it important for folks to know this about you?
How often do you think about surviving? Every day? Many times a day? Once a week? Once a month?
How has being a survivor impacted your life?
- Personally
- Professionally
- Spiritually

Have you always known?
Have you 'proof'?
What relationship (if any) do your abuser(s) have to you?
How old were you when it began?
How old were you when it ended?
How did they insure your silence?
Why did it end?
Have you spoken to your abuser(s)?
What about forgiveness?
What about anger?
What about numbness?
What about depression?
- What has depression given you that is positive?
- Successful strategies for dealing with it?
  - work
  - home
  - love
  - sex

Do you have photographs, audio or video recordings from before, during and/or after the abuse that you'd be willing to share with us for the documentary?
I would like you to think about the lingo of surviving. What words or phrases do you often use when thinking / talking / writing about your life as a survivor? Remember them. I would like at some point to have an audio and / or video recording of you saying that list of words.
I would also like to get from everyone a kind of AA introduction. "Hi, my name is [name or pseudonym you've decided to use] and I'm a survivor of [tell me the one-sentence gist of your story].

Questions for Family / Friends / Colleagues of Survivors

How did you learn of what happened to your relative / friend?
What was your immediate reaction?
- A month later, what was going on?
- Six months later?
- A year...
- Five years...
Has your knowledge of this changed you / your relationship since you learned of it?
How often do you speak to your relative / friend about this?

Questions for Social Services / Mental Health Professionals

What is at the root of violence?
What is the current thinking about how to change this behavior?
What are current best-in-show modalities for treatment / short-term & long-tem?
How many survivors of domestic, emotional and sexual violence do you think there are?
Of that number, how many are unable to hold down jobs or remain in stable relationships?
What percentage are 'high-functioning'?

Mr. Kinberg is an Artist

jannie.jan@gmail.com (http://vlogpresskit.blogspot.com) — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 03:22:30 PDT

I'd no idea that Mr. Kinberg was an artist. Vlogger in the news!

clipped from www.nytimes.com

At the other end of the threat spectrum was Joshua Kinberg, a graduate student at Parsons School of Design and the subject of four pages of intelligence reports, including two pictures. For his master’s thesis project, Mr. Kinberg devised a “wireless bicycle” equipped with cellphone, laptop and spray tubes that could squirt messages received over the Internet onto the sidewalk or street.
The messages were printed in water-soluble chalk, a tactic meant to avoid a criminal mischief charge for using paint, an intelligence report noted. Mr. Kinberg’s bicycle was “capable of transferring activist-based messages on streets and sidewalks,” according to a report on July 22, 2004.

Amanda Congdon & Ze Frank In Marketwatch Blog

Curiosity about what's next for Ze (and Amanda), here's the first I've heard about what Mr. Frank might be up to.

clipped from blogs.marketwatch.com

Another prominent Web blogger, Ze Frank, is also casting about for new opportunities. He, too, is using the popularity of his Web video show to break into other media. He and National Geographic pitched PBS on a documentary series.

Both Congdon and Frank have become 'brands.' Rather than trying to sell advertising on their Web video efforts, while no one (or everyone) was looking, they were selling themselves.

How did Blip figure it out? They went to the community and asked. And listened. And implemented based on what they learned.

Vlogosphere Demographics :: Thanks, Rocketboom!

jannie.jan@gmail.com (http://vlogpresskit.blogspot.com) — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 03:46:46 PST

Andrew from Rocketboom has regularly - and generously - shared tons of information with the videoblogging community about his process of making the daily hit show.

Enclosed with this post is his latest gem: a PDF of survey results created on Andrew's behalf by Rob of Podcast411.

Thanks Andrew.

Rocketboom is the first & most successful of videoblogs to rise from the ranks of the early adopters. His first partner - Amanda Congdon - was the first to cross over into the mainstream when she was hired to vlog for ABC News. And while Rocketboom was not the first videoblog to sport paid advertising (HERE's the first ever vlog ad), it was certainly the first to go BIG with advertising, netting $40K from an Ebay auction.

We thought the press corps would be interested.

Videobloggers' Calendar :: Keeping a Community Together

This Google calendar - created by Susan Kirkpatrick and managed by contributors Jay Dedman, Roxanne Darling, Devlon Duthie, Paul Knight, and Jan McLaughlin - is only one tool that helps us keep it together.

We tried any number of calendars, including our email list's native calendar through Yahoo!, but to no avail. Google's seems to be sticking.

Vlog Sustainability :: Have Money Will Vlog Launches Third Project

jannie.jan@gmail.com (http://vlogpresskit.blogspot.com) — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 06:49:07 PST

Click To Play

The Columbia Migration Project is only the most recent Have Money Will Vlog endeavor.

In The Columbia Migration Project, anthropologist Maria Gomez will for four months explore the Columbian Diaspora as now ten percent of Columbians have headed to the United States with presumably many more emigres to come.

Is this migration brain drain, labor drain, or both? It's our hope that Maria will find answers that will open doors of understanding and promote the hearty embrace of a new emigrant population as they find homes here.

This is the most recent of three vlog projects that a group of active, vested members of the Videoblogging community through Have Money Will Vlog (HMWV) have agreed to support with their dollars and social currency.

Jay Dedman in particular fell in love with Maria's concept, and managed to elicit a concensus from the HMWV advocates that Maria's vlog dream was a thing worthy of both its fiscal & social capital.

Can't help but think of HMWV as an economic model for sustainable videoblogging. More than that, it's created a new kind of production company. And as a Hollywood / Television insider (sort of), I can say it is a good thing to have new models. It's time.

Jeff Pulver starts a conversation about vlog-as-entertainment / television with this post that lists research results for "TV Shows Only Available on the Internet."

Lots of the shows Pulver lists turn the idea of television at least on its side if not its head.

More of that upsidedownness, if you please.

The Columbian Migration is more of that.

Thank you.

Veoh Soon to Launch P2P Internet Television Network

jannie.jan@gmail.com (http://vlogpresskit.blogspot.com) — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 11:44:55 PDT

VEOH NETWORKS RECEIVES SERIES A FUNDING TO SUPPORT FIRST INTERNET TELEVISION PEERCASTING NETWORK LAUNCH

– Shelter Capital Partners invests in new Internet service that redefines TV
by allowing anyone to broadcast full-screen, television-quality video –

LA JOLLA, Calif. – August 10, 2005 – Veoh Networks, Inc., the first
Internet Television Peercasting Network, today announced it has
completed a Series A round of financing led by Shelter Capital
Partners. The introduction of Veoh Networks (www.veoh.com) creates a
new category of television networks that take advantage of exiting
broadband infrastructure to deliver TV-grade, full-screen video
programming directly from producers to consumers.

Veoh Networks was founded in 2004 by Dmitry Shapiro, a technologist
best known for creating the world's leading P2P security software that
manages more than one million enterprise users, regulating
applications such as BitTorrent and Grokster. Veoh's management and
advisory team also includes executives from Coca-Cola, Columbia
Pictures, eBay, Gateway Computer and Musicmatch.

"Today, thousands of video producers are creating innovative,
entertaining, informative and provocative television content that is
never slotted for broadcast over traditional television networks,"
said Shapiro, also Veoh's CEO. "Veoh provides an open system that
allows producers to distribute their content directly to consumers,
bypassing the traditional hurdles of getting 'picked up' by a major
television network."

Veoh software, installed on consumers' PCs or Macs, creates a virtual
television network that is able to distribute TV-quality, full-screen
broadcast video to hundreds of millions of users with broadband
Internet connections. Motion picture studios, television networks,
organizations and individuals can publish unlimited amounts of
broadcast video content to the network, providing consumers with
unparalleled choice in television programming and control over their
viewing experience.

Veoh utilizes a proprietary, secure P2P network that helps prevent
piracy of content, and makes sure all video content is properly
categorized, of TV-grade quality and always available. Unlike rogue
P2P networks that utilize unmanaged BitTorrent to share mostly pirated
video, Veoh is a community of publishers and consumers, where
published content is approved by editors, and consumers are assured
that they get what they request. The system also integrates tightly
with Google Video and RSS, providing content producers with easy
publishing to multiple video systems.

"We are excited about Veoh's plans to create a marketplace for video
content producers to distribute their work, much like eBay established
a marketplace for individuals and stores to sell their wares," said
Art Bilger, managing partner at Shelter Capital Partners. "There is a
growing market opportunity for such a service, and the Veoh team is
uniquely qualified to deliver on such a grand vision."

A beta version of Veoh's software and service will be available later
this month. Content producers and consumers are encouraged to visit
www.veoh.com to sign up for notification upon launch.

About Veoh Networks, Inc.
San Diego-based Veoh Networks is the first Internet Television
Peercasting Network, reaching hundreds of millions of viewers with
broadband Internet connections throughout the world. Veoh allows
content producers, from video bloggers (vloggers) to motion picture
studios, to deliver TV-grade, full-screen video directly to consumers,
without financial, geographical or regulatory restrictions found in
traditional broadcasting systems. Veoh is privately held and
venture-capital funded.

Quote:

“We are in the midst of a grassroots media revolution that embraces the personal perspective. Vlogging takes the power of the media and puts it into the hands of the people. Vlogging embraces the personal voices of real people in the world. By sharing our lives and our stories through video, we take the media back and give the power to anyone with a video camera and a connection to the internet.” –Bre Pettis
