Movie “Back To You” (48HFP) selected for San Diego Film Festival

[vimeo clip_id=”44776515″ html5=”1″ byline=”0″ portrait=”0″ width=”420″ height=””]

Some great news to start the week! The movie “Back To You” that the “Epidemic Films” team created for the 48H Film Project in San Diego, made it to the selection of the San Diego Film Festival (SDFF) in September. Just like last year, I wrote the original score for them, and we’re all thrilled to be selected ! Just click the movie …

A few years ago, Cliff Keller from the “San Diego Songwriters Meetup” (currently over 600 members!) and Duane Trammell from the 48HFP initiated the connection between the San Diego film makers and  songwriters. It has been a great success, with many songs being used in the short films and a handful of songwriters also writing custom original scores.

Can’t wait for the festival !

San Diego Climbers Missing – You can help !

Received this message from friends today… still ongoing…

Two climbers from San Diego went missing a few days ago.

Ben and Gil went to attempt a first ascent on the south face of Palcaraju Oeste in Peru and have been missing for over 5 days now.

A search team found Ben and Gil’s tent, followed tracks up the glacier to the base of the route (a 800 m face of steep snow and ice), and spotted tracks on the descent ridge at about 5,800 m. That’s all they know so far.

YOU can help in two ways:

1. Look for signs of them on satellite pictures here: http://tomnod.com/gi/peru/

(some more info here: Facebook Page (Search Event), and an example of how the three rescuers were spotted here: Satellite picture with 3 people on)

2. They are looking for a plane to do a fly-over. Here’s the latest on that:

We have a good lead on a private plane for tomorrow. Still happy to take suggestions of private planes people have access to — you’d be amazed how many Peruvian pilots our network knows! We want someone out there today if possible.
> The US embassy in Lima is trying to get the Peruvian national guard to launch their planes. First the team on the ground has to report in from the mountain — should happen in the next hour.
> Satellite imagery is in and they are analyzing it.
> Ben’s network of elite climbers is hard at work identifying Peru-based climbers to back up the on-the-ground efforts. Unfortunately it sounds like the team there now can’t go up until tomorrow morning.
> At this point, I literally cannot keep up with all of the leads coming in. If you have a very promising contact — like a Peruvian military officer who owns a plane — call me and I will give you the number of the guy coordinating on the ground. Anyone who has a good reason to call the embassy, it’s 51-1-618-2000. It’s possible the 1 before the 6 is dropped but I dont think so.
