DIRECTOR IN ATTENDANCE (Aaron Katz, USA, 2007, BETA-SP, 81 min) It's not often a film comes along that finds a new way to depict New York City, but QUIET CITY manages to do just that quite beautifully. The New York depicted by director Aaron Katz (DANCE PARTY, USA) is indeed a quiet place, full of listless hours, intiguing strangers, and endless promise. Twenty-one-year-old Jamie (Erin Fisher) has traveled from Atlanta to Brooklyn to hang out with a friend, but Jamie doesn't know her way around town, and her friend's not answering her phone. A chance encounter in a subway station attaches Jamie to Charlie (Cris Lankenau), a shy, soft-spoken New Yorker of the indie-rock set. The two inch closer together as they kill time in diners, art galleries, and hipster parties-- slowly but surely distancing themselves from the lives they led before they met. A hit at this year's South by Southwest festival, Kats's moving film confidently captures the small, quiet moments of our life that in retrospect may scream out with major significance. QUIET CITY also expresses a deep belief that today's urban landscape is a place of mystery, and confirms Katz's status as a young director to watch. A point of interest: Joe Swanberg, the director of the SXSW gem HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS, plays Adam in the comical coleslaw scene. "It's sparse and simple but also colorful and interesting." -FILM THREAT

The Detroit Cobras Bloodshot CD Release Show w/ Dan Sartain ...
Where: Neumo's
Date: 2007-08-21 20:00:00
Type:
Soul lives below the belt, and whether youre looking to be grinding it slow or shaking it up good, the Detroit Cobras bring it tough and tender, savage and sweet. With Tied And True, their first new record in three years, the Cobras practically done created a new genre all for themselves, delivering the sonic goods to back up some seriously supernatural soulful vocal gifts. Untrained and undisciplined (and how!), Rachel started out by belting revved-up rock yowlers and has grown into the gen-u-ine gutsy, vulnerable, delicate and commanding soul-on-the-edge singer. She effortlessly glides from R&B sass, to girl group pathos to kitten-with-a-whip toughness with a snap of her chipped fingernails. Longtime musical partner in crime, guitarist Mary Ramirez keeps the DE-troit Motor City in the Cobras with her body shop wallop, greasy rock n soul rhythms and a bold grasp of old school, big room arrangements.

Turning The Donor Pyramid Upside Down
Where: Northwest Work Lofts
Date: 2007-05-30 13:00:00
Type:
The rules have changed! The internet has opened up many new possibilities that allow the small donor to be the hero. Come to this exciting and revealing 2 1/2 hr. seminar to learn about how organizations are taking advantage of the web, and how you can to. Scroll down to learn more and to register. Cost: $35 There is a New Nonprofit Rule: The future has arrived and the old rules of development are on there way out. One such rule is following the donor pyramid. It was once true that to raise a lot of money you needed major donors. This is no longer true. Typical fundraising for organizations involves a Donor Pyramid. The very tip of it is comprised of all the major donors you have. Obtaining these major donors has traditionally been the goal of every nonprofit. Current wisdom states that these donors are what make your organization profitable and sustainable, plus lend it credibility. The large base of donors at the bottom of the pyramid, those $100 or less donors, are not considered the life blood of the organization. Minimal resources are spent on keeping them connected to the organization. That's all changed now. Offered throughout the year this 2 ½ hour session will take a look at the new fund development paradigm. You will look at case studies from organizations like Donor Choose and the Democratic Party. You will also get an in-depth case on a new organization that is the talk of the world – KIVA. Kiva turns the Donor Pyramid on its head. No longer are the large base of $100 donors less than, now they are more than. How? Kiva's website makes the small donor a hero. Donate a mere $25 or $50 and you can get your own loan portfolio, showing which businesses you loan to by gender, by sector and by country. Why not upload your own photo to your own page on their website to talk about yourself, and explain why you are lending to an entrepreneur. Even better yet, list the website for your own business and get a little marketing out of it. Kiva takes the average Jane donor and gives them a place to look – and act – like a mini Gates foundation. This session will review a number of these new organizations and compare them to the status quo.
