| OCEANIA: local San Jose/South Bay student film @ CINEQUEST 2008! |
[02 Mar 2008|11:29am] |
Hey guys, we REALLY need some local support! Please check our film out at the Cinequest Film Festival March 6th and March 8th. More info below:

Two teenagers deal with their shattered family-life in a small California coastal town.
We started filming when we were in high school (I was 17). Many of the people involved went to Piedmont Hills High School in San Jose, and some actors are from SF, Mill Valley, Palo Alto, etc. It was truly a local effort, and...
It was a rather large volunteer effort. The final budget was around $3,500 or so. Shooting took place on and off for a whole year and editing took me about nine more months. This will be our first and possibly last major screening...

We will be having two screenings:
OPENING NIGHT: 03/06/08 Thursday 7:00 PM San Jose Repertory Theatre 101 Paseo De San Antonio San Jose, CA 95113
CLOSING NIGHT: 03/08/08 Saturday 7:30 PM Camera 12 Cinema San Jose 288 S 2nd St San Jose, CA 95113
For more info go directly to the Cinequest 2008 site: http://www.cinequest.org/event_view.php?eid=425
Also, please feel free to bring friends! It would mean a lot to us to get more locals out to see the film!
Join the event @ FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=7808269626 Visit http://www.hdehal.com for more info, pictures, and a trailer!
Thanks!

As you know, tomorrow is Super Tuesday, where more than 22 states will hold their primaries or caucuses—one state which will be California. I am voting for BARACK OBAMA because I feel that he has the necessary experience to serve this country and has also utilized grassroots efforts to engage and excite millions of people, transcending race, ethnicity, gender, ability, immigrant status, political party, etc. These past couple of months, America has seen someone who can CHANGE policies and the lives of many, give the ordinary person HOPE for a better tomorrow and has done so with INTEGRITY, RESPECT and POISE.
Counting down the hours before Super Tuesday begins, I wanted to share a new independent video about BARACK OBAMA. For me, it embodies the sense of inspiration that so many people feel about his candidacy. Words don't do it justice, you have to watch it for yourself
I hope you will join me in voting for Barack Obama. Find your polling place: http://my.barackobama.com/CAlookup
It's time to put an end to the say-anything-to-win politics of the past. Together we can face the challenges of the future with a new kind of politics and a new kind of leadership. If you already know where you'll be voting on Tuesday, take a minute to invite five of your friends to look up their polling place:http://my.barackobama.com/CAlookup or in CA you can call the state registrars office at 1-800-345-VOTE
Thanks!
BTW here are some pix from Fridays Obama rally outside of Kerckhoff Hall at UCLA with Tatyana Ali, Max Kennedy (RFK's son), Kerry Washington, and California State Majority Assemblymember Karen Bass + some pix from yesterdays Obama rally at Pauley Pavilion (UCLA) with Oprah, Caroline Kennedy, Michelle Obama, Stevie Wonder and surprise guest Maria Shriver
Most of the pictures are under the cut because they are pretty big
 ( Read more... ) Here are a few details and rules that will help make the voting process run smoothly. Make sure to share these with your friends:
*Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to at least 8:00 p.m. Anyone in line at the time the polls close is allowed to vote.
*Voters have the right to cast a provisional ballot even if their name is not listed on the voting rolls. If a voter is at the wrong polling location and has time to get to the correct polling location before polls close at 8:00 p.m., they should go to the correct one and vote with a regular ballot instead of voting with a provisional ballot at the wrong location.
*If you declined to select a political party when you registered to vote, you can still vote for Barack Obama if you request a Democratic ballot from the poll worker. Make sure you mark "Democratic" in the appropriate space or the vote might not be counted.
*Voters have the right to return a completed vote-by-mail ballot to any precinct in their county. *If you have any difficulties, you can call the California Obama Election Protection Hotline: o LOS ANGELES: (310) 801-9546 or (310) 779-0816 o SAN FRANCISCO/BAY AREA: (510) 520-5025 o OAKLAND/EAST BAY: (415) 606-6043 o SAN DIEGO: (619) 770-7105 ************* find your polling place in CA: http://my.barackobama.com/CAlookup or call the state registrars office at 1-800-345-VOTE
In other states please google your state registrars office or visit: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/statepages
