Since the Life is Living Festival was in our part of San Francisco, Ian attended with his camera and was so impressed by the program that he put together this short film about the day as a public service. Find out more at LifeisLiving.org.

Anatomy of a Street Corner

Jo — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 18:23:53 +0000

Ian is a library user extraordinaire so when the city decided to build our new neighborhood library a block from our apartment, he decided to document the build. It took about a year and a half to complete so he took photos with his cell phone whenever he was out, standing by the same lamp post. He then put the whole thing together into a time-lapse movie for the latest Ocean Avenue Film Festival.

After posting it on YouTube, we got contacted by Group 4 Architecture who designed the building. They posted the film on their website here.

The Marsh Needs New Seats!

Ian — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 18:35:54 +0000

Community performance venue “The Marsh” has been delighting audiences and supporting the careers of up-and-coming solo performers for 23 years. And through that entire time, they’ve had to make do with 4 different kinds of hand-me-down theater seats. And now, by gosh, it’s time for new ones!

Please enjoy the short promo video foolish tree films produced for the marsh. It features the very funny Geoff Hoyle as “The Geezer.” (Also the name of his one-man show, now at the Marsh through September 18, 2011.)

An evening in March of 2011 with the fabulous traditional Cuban band, “El Guajiro,” at the wonderful Italian/Argentinian restaurant, “Caffe D’Melanio.”

UPDATE: We’re very sorry to report that our friend, client and man of community awesomeness, Melanio, passed away early Saturday morning, April 16, 2011. He will be deeply missed. The caffe is still open and is now being run with reduced hours by Melanio’s sister and niece. Visit www.caffemelanio.com for more information.

Founded in 1990, Community Housing Partnership is the only San Francisco nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to providing permanent, supportive housing to formerly homeless individuals and families. Every year, they have a fundraising event called “A Night with the Stars” featuring unforgettable performances by people who have experienced – and overcome – homelessness. And foolish tree films was there to film it!
