It only has to:
-Have something substantial to do with Richmond (Be about the city, happen in the city, involve something happening that is also happening in the city, etc..and, yes, I mean the 'greater richmond area' including anything from Petersburg, Williamsburg, Fredericksburg, and Charlottesville to Richmond)
-Be a current issue/concept/idea about which there is some contention (if everyone thinks its awesome, then whats the point?) or interest at large
-Be an issue that needs or would benefit from public exposure (we will NEVER film juveniles without being ASKED by the parents, will NEVER benefit from or otherwise further injure
victims of violent crimes like rape, etfc)
If we think its worthwhile and our team agrees with us (so they will actually spend the hours and HOURS necessary to edit these few minute docs), then we WILL cover the topic.
Topics already in the works for full episodes this year:
-Local Hip Hop community & Rap music : How does a talented artist get exposure when live venues are scarce ?(most are DJ-oriented clubs where Djs or whomever program/play current popular/hit singles from major artists like Drake & Lil Wayne, etc-and seldom have actual live artists)
-->subtopic: Music Industry/Surviving as a 'professional' in an age of virtually free &
overwhelmingly numerous/available material. How do you get heard, earn
an income, or interest a significant audience when youre just 1 link among
millions --and not even on the first page--returned by a search engine?
-Cool and Worthwhile locations in Richmond to visit and how to actually get to them: How &
Where to go to get to the best places on the River, a list of locations that still have real grit
and haven't been 'gentrified' or given to a developer by the government.
--->subtopic: the OPEN CORRUPTION of the relationship between wealthy developers &
campaign contributors & the city council/govt (FOCUS ON: the real screw
job the public got w/the bus barn property at Cary & Robinson that ended
w/a developer painting OVER HUNDREDS of incredible, original artworks
LEGALLY put there-some by award winning artists and ALL pos4area)
-WHERE TO BUY LEGIT HEALTHY FOOD FOR REASONABLE PRICES (no thanks to Whole Foods and Elwood Thompson & their 10$ boxes of 'organic, GMO, Gluten, and Pesticide-Free, Cheerios', etc) AND WHERE YOU CAN SHOP
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE TO SUPPORT LOCAL, ORIGINAL & UNIQUE BUSINESSES WITHOUT
PAYING A 'HIPSTER PREMIUM'
-Where and When and What's there for Farmer's Markets in the area
- " for Flea Markets
- local Shops, Galleries, and Boutiques where work of artists, artisans, and designers from the
 |
| Me answering chat questions during live show |
-Which shops in the area are TRULY local and what can be found at each, organized by
primary types of items (ie. " Toy shops: we took a look at ___ and ___ and were glad to find
that....bla blah")
-Metal Getting Big From Richmond, and How did it happen without any devoted clubs & a widely varied scene? (Sub: LOG, IR, MW, etc ALL have WORLDWIDE audiences, freak of fate?)
-WE WILL NEED HELP CONTACTING LAMB OF GOD AND SOME IRON REAGAN
MEMBERS PARTICULARLY (but NEED to, as they are 2 of the obvious subjects-especially
LOG. ANY OTHER METAL ACTS FROM HERE, EVEN LOCALS WE DONT KNOW,
WOULD ALSO BE WELCOMED (always, ALWAYS, need more material per topic)
Neither us, nor anyone on our crew personally knows them and the numerous people
who CLAIMED they knew them..DID NOT..or were bullshitting about the extent of the
friendship. Since they are both, particularly LOG, famous and doing well, there are
no easy ways to simply ask them and influence them to prioritize few mins w us over
other things in their likely busy schedule. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!
-What is going ON with the HUGE MISMANAGEMENT of public funds/tax dollars in Petersburg & Richmond as well as other smaller localities?
SHORTS: WE WILL ALSO BE DOING A NUMBER OF SHORT TOPICS, LESS THAN TEN MINUTES IN LENGTH-MOST WILL BE 5 MINUTES OR LESS (some were shot last year but we didn't get them done --& I admit this-- MOSTLY due to the huge amount of other projects competing for MY time-so MY fault)
-where to sneak into the river (may be incorporated into 'cool places' larger topic)
-where to get materials for artwork in Richmond and do it on the CHEAP
-The 30-person Richmond mayoral race with 8 large legitimate candidates
