can be more difficult than researching institutional grantmakers.
This workshop answers questions such as: How can you compile a
list of potential donors? What strategies should you use to
research the individuals on your list? What kind of information
is relevant? What free information sources are available on the
Web? What ethical standards must be applied when finding out
information about individuals?

* San Francisco International Film Festival -04/26/2007- 05/10/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=490
The Film Arts Foundation is excited to be co-presenting
REVOLUTION SUMMER by Miles Montalbano.
Local filmmaker Miles Matthew Montalbano's feature debut
is the most open-hearted and open-minded political portrait
to come down the pike in ages. Mackenzie Firgens gives a
screen-melting, star-making performance as the aptly named
Hope, a young woman with an undercurrent of vague idealism,
an abundance of common sense and no real direction. Her best
friend, Francine (a bold, brave turn by Lauren Fox), dismisses
any discussion of philosophy and meaning in favor of a live-
for-today frenzy of drugs, sex and more drugs. When Hope
hooks up with Frankie, an earnest, likable fellow who's
signed on to a subversive plot to attack an unknown target,
the stakes are kicked up a few notches.
* TV SHERIFF DVD LAUNCH + LAMBERT + PLU + - 04/28/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=372
Roaring out of the LA underground in 2001, the "video
band" TV Sheriff and the Trailbuddies have pioneered
a new mode of scratch video, both producing and performing
wildly energized mash-ups of popular TV entertainment that
take tour-de-force VJ'ing to a new level of media-crazed
performance art. Headed by editorial sharpshooter Davy
Force, they make mincemeat out of the mediocrity that
is broadcast television, creating rhythmic collages from
appropriated clips of the most absurd telecast tropes.
Tonight OCD will demo their debut digital-video disc as
the major component of this found-footage show. Co-billed
is a set of shorts by master-of-irony Kent Lambert whose
canny composites also take American pop culture to task,
though in a more cerebral way
* Whole Story: A Concordance of One's Life - 05/ 04/2007 -05/ 05/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=470

short story by Jim Nelson.
