Heading to ActiveRain Camp : )

12-01-09
Mike Mueller

I’m attending my first RainCamp tomorrow. It should be a smashing success. I’m not presenting and will have the rare chance to sit back and soak it all in. It’s being held in the same location as WordCamp/SF this year which was a great venue. I plan on shooting a bunch of video, tweeting and livestreaming what I can depending on the wifi and powercord access.  

For what it's worth, I'll have no fewer than 5 video recording devices on me.

If you are going - make sure you find me and say hello!

Want to come? Looks like there’s a few more spots available http://raincampsf.eventbrite.com/

Who’s coming? 327 People so far! (incredibly few included their URL! Let’s give those that have a little link love)

How to Text while Driving

08-17-09
Mike Mueller

DON'T !!

Plain and simple, just don’t do it. In California it’s illegal and has been since January 1, 2009.

Illegal, yet every single day I see numerous drivers willingly breaking the law. Yesterday it was a middle aged woman who had both arms thru the steering wheel, blackberry against the speedo, on the freeway!

The following video is part of an half hour long program being shown to new drivers in the U.K. It's graphic in nature and worth every single moment of it's 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

It’s a professionally made short movie using actors but that doesn’t diminish the message. If I had my way I’d make every teen driver and their texting parents watch this before they signed that contract for their new smartphone!

Watch the video then go hug your kid.

What do you think... too harsh?

Concord is making a Movie!

04-14-09
Mike Mueller

Are We Connected.com

Recent budget cuts have eliminated all sports starting next fall.  More cuts are on the way!

One person has a plan to raise enough money to bring them back.  (It’s not just him, he has a lot of help!)

He’s going to make a Movie! a real "get a bucket of popcorn and sit in the backrow"  Movie!

From the website: (http://concordmovie.com/ )

Questions about our movie:

Why are you making this movie?

The Mt. Diablo Unified School District is in crisis with California state budget cuts and has been forced to cut sports and music programs from high schools, as well as give out pink slips to teachers and other staff members.  We need your help!  I’ve worked in the movie industry for 28 years (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0608444/ ) and feel this is a great way to reach a national audience who can help us raise money for the school district while involving the community and our children.

Are you really trying to make a movie?

Yes, this is real and you can relax knowing that we are being advised by entertainment attorney Richard Lee of Lee & Lawless in Oakland, California, we have registered our production company business (3 J Films, LLC) with the State of California (Secretary of State File #200835410330) and we’re just a nice group of people…ask anyone at Woodside Elementary School in Concord, California.  Also, take a look at the video.  We have the endorsement of Gary Eberhart, MDUSD President as well as Concord Mayor Laura Hoffmeister.  All money collected will be kept in a separate account until we reach 2/3 of our budget at which time we will begin pre-production.  If we do not reach that goal the money will be given directly to the MDUSD.  If we produce the movie all net proceeds will go to the MDUSD.

What is the title?

"Chasing Rodriguez" (read the first 5 pages of the script below) It will be rated G or PG.

What is it about?

Four teenagers enter a 24 hour film contest to win a cash prize.  While filming their movie they inadvertently capture a robbery on film.

Where will it be filmed?

In Concord, California, and around Contra Costa County.

Who will be in it?

The 4 lead characters are not cast yet.  They will be between the ages of 12 and 14.  We are looking for actors locally and in Los Angeles.  The Blue Devils Marching Band (http://www.bluedevils.org/ ) will be featured and some of the filming will take place at the Brendan Theater.

When will you be filming?

May - Pre-production: Casting and Location Scouting
June - Production: 18 day film schedule in Contra Costa County!
July and August - Post-Production: Editing, music, sound effects
September - Public Screening
October - DVD Replication
November - Receive your copy of the DVD

Can we read some of the script?

Yes.  You can read the first 5 pages of the script in PDF here…

"Chasing Rodriguez" Script (click here)

Yes, I am supporting the making of this movie and offered in any way I can.

I love the outside of the box thinking!

What is Pink Friday?

03-13-09
Mike Mueller

You may be wondering why all the Pink today.

"I thought Breast Cancer Awareness was in October?"

It is.  Today in California it is Pink Friday.


Find more videos like this on Pink Friday

From http://www.pinkfriday09.org/

California’s public schools, colleges and universities are facing more than $11 billion in state budget cuts. These cuts are going to impact an entire generation of kids and alter public education for years to come.
Friday, March 13 is the deadline for school districts to issue preliminary pink slips to California’s teachers. As of Wednesday, more than 26,000 teachers had received these preliminary notices.

Please join us on Friday, March 13 and Stand Up for Schools.

What You Can Do

1. Wear pink on Friday, March 13 to show your support for public schools, students and educators.

2. Organize or attend an event at a school near you.

3. Call or e-mail your Legislator. Tell them that investing in public education is an investment in California’s future.

4. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Lawmakers read their hometown papers to keep abreast of what their constituents are thinking. A sample letter is available in the Resources section.

Support our Schools!

Help spread the word!
