media education
This is my long term (on going since 2001) personal project for which I am currently researching funding. My mission is to provide the Juna Akhara sadhus and sadhvis (Hindu ascetics) the equipment and skills to document their world for themselves. By 2012 I plan to produce and direct a documentary film, where the ascetics are the crew.
RECYouth is multimedia education program within the NYC Parks & Recreation. I am the coordinator at Hamilton Fish Computer Resource Center in New York City's Lower East Side, where I teach both youth and adults: video / DVD production, electronic music production, digital photography, and stop motion animation. Currently I have partnership multimedia education programs with City as School, New Museum and the MIX-NYC Queer Film Festival.
Also in conjunction with RECyouth, Hook Productions is an after-school teen technology program run by City Parks Foundation. I was the Video and New Media Teacher there from June 2005 until Dec 2006. I also worked as a consultant in 2007, running workshops and giving support towards getting the students work online.
