pro videography for free

I have a professional JVC DV500 miniDV camcorder and Final Cut Pro editing equipment, and am looking for projects of a left-wing nature in which to participate.

I have a fair amount of free time I can put into this and am willing to travel -- to other countries, even, if the work is involving enough. I am mainly interested in issues involving labor rights, prison reform, the environment, free speech, multicuturalism, protest, experimental art, video documentation of radical history, etc. I come from a strong artistic background in both practice and theory, so my efforts will be a cut well above the amateur documentary approach of the activist without video experience.

As far as paid work is concerned, I have done the usual assortment of monkeywork: event videography, weddings, along with my own personal artistic projects.

Email me with your proposal, and if it fits what I think I can commit to doing, let’s get to it!
