Lights. Camera. Help.
Lights. Camera. Help. is a great Austin-based PSA festival. I think submissions have closed but you should buy a badge and plan to go. There is prize money for non-profits, the entries are often wonderful, and it's a big networking opportunity for do-gooders!
Howdy!
Welcome to TexSHO Central, where Texas Social (Media) Helps Out!
You might recognize me as Texas Horror Flix or TexSho; Micheal Hamm Lovecraft, or Mike Hamm. Perhaps not, and that's just fine, too. This ain't entirely about me, for once ;-)
I'm on the prowl for the Good Efforts in Texas, causes that deserve attention and support, things that improve the quality of life and infuse the community with a sense of purpose... all with a flavor of entertainment. This is a slight departure from my previous efforts that came with unspoken conditions: you see, friends, I wanted to be "in the business," and I convinced myself that the hobby of promoting Texas entertainment - web shows, independent feature films, shorts, crowdfunding, etc. - was fulfilling and that, someday, somehow, someone would recognize my dedication, skills, and talents... and reward me with position and status.
It don't work that way: I don't want to horn and worm my way into anything. I had to learn a couple of hard lessons, take a couple of socks to the chin, and gain some uncomfortable insights. So I'm gonna drop that pretension and just use my little virtual venue to highlight the efforts of those who work for something greater than themselves. I won't lie - there's some ego attached to this project, but that is the nature of Social. Occasionally I'll use this space to express an opinion; to editorialize; or, to satirize. I will always be frank and honest, and admit it I am wrong. I have a deep-seated need to be & do good, not necessarily to be nice. I tried that and it's BORING.
When I find them, when you send me in those directions, I'll post 'em here, on Google +, Facebook, and Twitter.
What's the mission?
To get YOUR cause noticed. That's it. Anything else is gravy.
What's in it for me?
Satisfaction, and maybe some good karma :-)
The whole thing is a Work In Progress, but perfection takes precious time and I have reason to believe that jumping in with both feet is better in this instance. I expect we'll play a lot by ear. Ya gotta get the foundation poured & the frame up before you can worry about the wallpaper.
Let's get this party started!
