I made a movie
This past January, my friend and I decided to film the Free Culture Conference that was held at Columbia. We ended up with some great footage and sat down a few weeks later to edit together a short documentary. We're planning on submitting the film to as many student festivals as possible, hopefully educating other young filmmakers about alternative copyright and licensing possiblies.

The Blub: A nine minute student documentary of the Free Culture New York Summit held at Columbia University, January 2006. The film explores a new form of student activism, based primarily on and about the Internet. Beginning with the Free Culture demonstration at the Times Square Virgin Megastore, the documentary covers Free Culture members out to educate consumers on alternative forms of music distribution online (archive.org, ccmixter.org, blogs, etc). It continues the discussion with interviews featuring conference participants (Cory Doctorow, Creative Commons, Free Culture students activists). Finally, using cc licenses for distribution and production, the film acts as an example for other young student filmmakers who are interested in alternative copyright licensing.
We also got on BoingBoing.net and Brooklynvegan!
