Mission Eye & Ear
... is a series I programmed in 2009-10 at the Red Poppy Art House that brought together writers, musicians, composers, filmmakers and media artists for new work and novel collaborations around a single theme or idea ...This year, Mission Eye & Ear moved to Artists' Television Access (ATA) on Valencia Street in the Mission, where we present three programs in 2011 featuring new commissions by Bay Area composer-filmmaker teams. I'm co-curating and organizing the series with ATA, with super awesome funding support from Southern Exposure and the American Composer's Forum.
Save the Date! The final event of the series ...
