The footage I'm using for the series is more about spontaneity then anything. At the present time I am working with already existing footage that needs editing. Realizing I've come a long way in a short time I am challanged with using my editing skills to make okay on the spot...no time to set up tripod or proper use of lights in a big crowd...this is a golden opportunity...ready, set, go kind of thing.
Not very easy considering shaky footage, no mics and crowds of people all around. I am determined to give it my best shot.

I have five series that are now in progress. The series will be a continuation and expansion on the previous works done on the African and African American Diaspora with Zimbabwe and it's children as a backdrop. I've come a long way since last year and I'm continuing to grow and expand in my knowledge of producing film.
In the first of these next five series I will focus on Zimbabwean musicians and American musicians who share a strong connection to the Zimbabwean experience as they sometimes share the same stage in the Bay Area's Multicultural East Bay.

Upcoming Internet TV Shows - Series 1 - 5
Most Africans and African Americans believe the history of Africa has never been included nor properly represented by educational institutions in America. Simply put, African history is not included in the primary and secondary school curriculums. As a result there is a lack of knowledge that borderlines the type of ignorance that seperates people, races and cultures due to this lack of knowledge and understanding.
On the other hand there are those who want to learn and/or enhance their knowledge and experiences of relationships more fully with Africa through a variety of educational media and techniques that create memorable experiences.
These next five series will represent different view points and experiences. The format will consist of storytelling, entertainment, art as culture, reality segments, current events - updates on what's happening in modern day rural Zimbabwe, (a country governed by dictatorship) and the psychological and social issues surrounding these experiences as it parallels what's happening in modern day America.
