YEC at FEGS

Amorphous not Vacuous
I met Matt on the National Mall after the Rally to Restore Sanity on Oct 30 and I feel that he deserves his own post.
First how we met him. As Randy (another filmmaker and great friend who was helping me since Keith still lives in SF) were interviewing another group we noticed a group of young adults with letters on their shirts, the combination of the ones we could see were starting to spell out two very familiar words. When I approached them and asked what they were spelling, Matt told me “the American Dream”. Now that’s something we have to get on tape.
Politics Politics Politics
As some of you may now, I have spent the last two weekends of October in Washington D.C. attending and interviewing people at two very different rallies. The main motivation for me going was the question “why has the American Dream become a political issue?”.
In today’s political and social environment, especially after the midterm election, this is a very hot issue. The midterm election brought about a change in government, whether you like the new House’s ideology or not, they are the new leaders until the next election in two years. Their policy decisions effect everyone of us economically, socially, and politically. This can have a direct effect on you being able to achieve your American Dream or the past government could have had that effect and this is one step in to help you on your path to achieve your American Dream. It depends on what your political views are.

Nomadic Dreams
We met Joseph, Megan, and Bones in Kansas City, MO where they were taking a break from their travels. They were three very interesting people with a cool take on life. While some people wont agree with their lifestyle, they are living their dream.
Three American Dreams from New Orleans
Now that I am finally settled, or mostly, in New York production is being ramped up. I will be posting more and more short clips from the people we talked to along our journey in June and people we talk to going forward. Production is starting back up, more info to come later. Until then, here are three clips of people we talked to in New Orleans- Jonathan, Dustin and Shaun.

Here is an auditory treat from our filming in June. Tyler Stark aka Fritzo of the Bring it Back Tour, who we have filmed extensively with so far, freestyles about the American Dream at the 2010 Van’s Warped Tour in Mountain View, CA.
Travel Update, pt 3
We had a great day filming on Monday with the International Institute of Akron. They kindly let us into their institute and gave us free reign to film and talk to their clients, which we did. Over all we did 8 interviews with their staff and clients.
To tell you a little about the Institute, their mission is “to contribute to the well-being of the community by creating and implementing programs and services to assist the foreign born to integrate into our society, to promote public awareness of the value of ethnic diversity, and to encourage international communication.” They help refugees resettle in the Akron area as well as teach English classes, and assist with the citizenship and green card process. What they are doing is great for the community and you see how much good they are doing by how many people are at their offices.
