| Voices For Peace
|
2004- 2007 |
I'm currently in production and editing of several documentaries. Shooting started in July 2004 with "VFP Roadtrips" Veterans For Peace In "The Spirit of Garberville" Peace Bus. The video documents their trip to Boston for the Veterans for Peace and Democratic National Conventions.
November, 2004 The School of The Americas Watch and Carlos Mauricio's Stop Impunity Project Travel from San Francisco to Fort Benning Georgia. Their mission was to speek out about the torture they suffered at the hands of the Police and Military of El Salvadore who were trained at the School of the America's in Fort Benning.
July 2005, We created the Veterans For Peace Impeachment Tour and set out on the road to Bohemian Grove, Russian River, National Convention of Veterans For Peace Dalas,Texas, with a side trip to Crawford Texas with Cindy Sheehan, Then on to New Orleans to provide relief after Katrina.
Our goals as founding members of Voices For Peace are to document what takes place and use the money we get for showing ans selling copies of what we produce to fund future road trips for peace and support the New Orleans Voices For Peace community media projects.
We need grants to support independant and community based media and non profit peace organization. We have developed a mobile media lab to give voice to the voiceless. We will document the war stories of vets and national guard, and the stories of the youth who are being recruited. We are using these oportunities to document and share the news that needs to be known.
Mobile multmedia equipment being used for this project:
Canon XL1
Infocus Digital Projector
Apple Dual Core Imac
Klipsch Audio

To Whom It May Concern,
It has been my pleasure and honor to work with Gordon Soderberg over the past three years. He has shot digital video for Curleyfest 2001, Curleyfest 2003, and the San Carlos 1960s Music Festival 2003. Gordon has an amazing eye and a talent for catching the perfect event moments. CO-Producer Spanky McFarlane and myself were delighted when we first saw Gordon's camera work in 2001. The footage was shot with a single camera, but it looked like more.
I am looking forward to continuing with Gordon on future projects and give him my highest recommendation.
Sincerely,
Leslie Sahlen
