Pics From Brazil


Welcome to Salao Do Encontro Posted by Picasa

More pictures from Brazil

Okay so we actually were working we just werent as moved to take pictures of all that work but I will post some of us working when I get a chance. Sucks to be home but there is still work to do. We have a lot of transcribing and editing to do. We feel a tremendous obligation to do a bomb ass job for this amazing place. We all took away such a powerful experience that I know for sure I will never forget.

Whats up with READING BETWEEN the RHYMES

Fam,

Eyes up! Another announcement for all the beautiful people out there. After a very well received screening at SFBFF's Urban Kidz Film Festival, we're officially off the bench and running!

In your local newstands now (August issue), check out the write up of Reading Between the Rhymes in XXL Magazine (page 56). There's a cute, little, sliver of an article appropriately titled, "You Must Learn" (krs!) with a picture of my man Jamahl Richardson. Don't like the mag? Don't worry, any exposure is good exposure! Peace to Bear Frazer - we've got ink!

Also good news, RBTR has been accepted into Best Fest America - Student Film Festival. It will take place the weekend of July 30, 31 in La Jolla, CA for all the SoCal party people. Be sure to key up http://www.bestfestsandiego.com/OfficialSelections.html for screening schedule and other film screenings. Congrats goes out to my fellow Reading Between the Rhymes filmmakers. RBTR beat out 503 submissions to be 1 of 8 documentaries chosen for Best Fest!

Last, for the educators on the frontline, I encourage you to check out Edutopia Magazine - The New World of Learning from the George Lucas Educational Foundation. There will be a write up of Reading Between the Rhymes in the August/September issue. More importantly however, it's:
"The one magazine that will give you practical, hands-on insight into what works now, what's on the horizon, and who's shaping the changing future of education"

There is is also a documentary section at www.edutopia.org where you can:
"Watch over 150 online documentaries showcasing imagination and innovation in our public schools"

Remember to progress...

You Must Learn,
Keith Morikawa
