We'll be on the "Creating and Curating Films for the Web" panel at the Brooklyn Film Festival today at 11. Come on out!
Here's what we're up to:
Shuttles, O-rings, and Organizational Dysfunction
Bret was on NPR's "The Takeaway" this morning talking about GO OR NO GO.
Major Malfunction
On Jan. 28, 1986, seven astronauts "slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God." America's space program was never the same. Check out our latest Retro Report documentary about the space shuttle Challenger and Columbia accidents, and how organizational dysfunction contributed to the catastrophes.
A short, sweet spot in the SF Green Film Festival
We're super excited that our short "Postcard from the Sacramento Delta" was selected for the festival this year, playing alongside Jennifer Baichwal and Edward Burtynsky's globetrotting "Watermark." This Sunday, June 1, 7:45pm at the Roxie. Details.
Go or No Go
We're excited to announce that "Go or No Go," a documentary that Bret produced and edited about the space shuttle Challenger and Columbia disasters will be premiering on the New York Times homepage on Monday. If you have a moment, check out the promo:
TIME's "One Dream" series nominated for a Webby

Uncovering street art in SF
We're kicking off a new series on the creative process in its many forms, and for our first installment, the incredibly talented street art team Alynn-Mags let us tag along as they executed a new piece. Paint was spilled, cameras were spattered, and it was all good.

NPR takes a look at "Open Secret"
Have a listen to "Weekend Edition's" Rachel Martin interviewing director Steve Lickteig about "Open Secret" in advance of its US broadcast premiere.
The US broadcast premiere of "Open Secret" is here
We're pleased to announce that "Open Secret," a film Bret edited about the not-so-secret story of director Steve Lickteig's adoption, will premiere on Al Jazeera America tonight at 9PM EST.
Diving into the Delta
Despite living so close for so many years, we've never had a chance to explore the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a maze of tidal waterways and agricultural islands that would be underwater if they weren't protected by earthen levees. Todd recently had a chance to spend some time out on the islands and on the water, and came away with this short piece for Greenpeace's "Postcards from Climate Change" series.
