VideoTakes films shown at local festival
February 11th, 2010 at 9:42 am
The VideoTakes film Nora!, which I helped to market and distribute, will be shown February 14 at the Our City Film Festival in DC. This is the third year in a row that I’ve had a film at the festival. Extreme Commuting was shown in 2009, and Of Politics and Prose was shown at the inaugural festival, in 2008.
An article about the festival appeared in today’s issue of Roll Call. Unfortunately, you have to pay to read the article online, but if you’d like to do that, please follow this link. The article is short but talks about my involvement with the festival and about Nora!.
Another VideoTakes film, Fresh Farm Markets, is also in the festival and has won the Best Mini-Documentary award.

A short piece I produced with VideoTakes for the Access to Medical Imaging Coalition (AMIC) has been posted on the group’s website. Please go to rightscanrighttime.org and scroll down to the middle of the page for the video! The AMIC represents more than 100,000 physicians, medical providers and patient organizations throughout the U.S., and this video discusses why we should not cut funds for medical imaging.
USAID video shown around the world

Changing the Landscape, the film I produced with VideoTakes for USAID, has been featured at many events. The movie showcases the Global Conservation Program (GCP), an initiative in which six international nonprofits worked to conserve significant areas of biodiversity around the world with the help of local communities and governments. I’m extremely glad that this film is receiving a lot of attention and I hope that people are learning from it. Here are some of the events where it has been and will be shown:
- Close Out meeting for the Global Conservation Program at the USAID headquarters in Washington, DC (Premiere)
- Business ethics courses at the University of New Mexico Anderson School of Management
- UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen
- United States Department of Agriculture (upcoming)
- Society for International Development (upcoming)
- American University Center for Environmental Filmmaking Spring Film Series (upcoming)
- CITES Conference of Parties in Doha, Qatar in March (pending)
Welcome to my new website!

Hi all,
Welcome to the brand new website for my film work! Here you can find video samples as well as information about my work history and recent film projects. This site was created after I finished my graduate thesis film, Extreme Commuting, and realized that I needed a broader professional website. I plan to use the “News” front page to talk about recent projects and lessons I’ve learned on the job.
Please take a look around at the rest of the site and let me know what you think. Thanks everyone, and happy holidays!
Andrea
