A superbly animated, clever and funny short film from Swedish character animator Alli Sadegiani. Through the simplest of plotlines, a single character, a single setting and a little comedy we see human greed laid bare for the idiotic and dangerous thing it is, something we all know is a part of us bubbling beneath the surface, that some keep in check and others fail to with disastrous implications for themselves and the people around them.

Xcorps Action Sports Show #41.) "HAWAIIMANA" - seg2 - The Xcorps goes BIG ALOHA with host Jason Lazo back in Hawaii covering a mix of cool action X fitness events sponsored by mega nutrition maker HAWAIIMANA producer of the HawaiiMana Challenge.
From the start the show goes BIG with wild shots of tow in surfer Garrett McNamara outrunning locomotive waves at Jaws and Teahoopu Tahiti backed by tunes from MOWER. Hang on! The scenes are mellow here too with sweet Oahu island shots of rainbow framed beaches under the waving coconut palms. So Ono!
Jason introduces team HawaiiMana training on the shore and under the water! See their unique method of building strength and lung power using just a big rock! Great UW shots of turtles and fish in their element mixed with irie tunes from reggae Electric Avenue pop master Eddy Grant.
After the break Jason goes from SCUBA to outrigger canoe and then on to the North Shore of Oahu to hang at the Hawaiimana beach crib and some surfing by team members Alisha and Davey Boy Gonsalves, Jason Miller and Oleema Miller.
Then the X cams roll down the beach to V-LAND to catch rising NSSA surf champ Carissa Moore carving and rippin! Jason meets her on the beach for a little interview. She how she gets her training and hear her fun laugh! Then it's back to Garrett towing into another massive thunder tube followed with a smooth exit rolling tight with another Eddy Grant tune - Reparation.
Jason samples some local flavor and crosses the island again to meet with open ocean stand up paddleboard master Aaron Napoleon who leads the Xcams offshore to the turbulent Molokai Channel for a look at this emerging challenging sport! It was a challenge getting these shots in the rolling big waves as Aaron paddled his 15-foot board up and down the deep blue victory at sea swells all captured for our viewers in HD!
Everyone onboard was hanging tight as Aaron paddled the huge water edited with a fresh new music video from San Diego band My American Heart. Nice fit! Jason talks with the HawaiiMana man back at the boat. See what he says about the ride!
The next segment rolls back to the shoreline to catch the voice of Hawaii fitness man Joe Teipel body surfing Sandys beach in style! Jason talks with the waterman about HawaiiMana and the island spirit of Aloha. Cool shots of the famous Halona blowhole going off here too!
The show closes out with Jason back in SCUBA gear and a beach sunset near Diamond Head talking with HawaiiMana girl Kristin Austin doing some Yoga moves. Just another day in paradise for those who join The Xcorps!
Stay tuned for more fun in the sun future episodes covering training for the HawaiiMana Fitness Challenge in Hawaii. See http://hawaiimana.com/ for more.

Xcorps Action Sports Show #38.) XCORR-2 seg.4 - This high RPM Xcorps episode delivers big horse off road race action with continuing coverage of the CORR off-road motor sports race series held at the The Quarry racetrack in Chula Vista California.
Show host Jason Lazo opens it up south of San Diego in Chula Vista California right along the Mexican border reporting on the new CORR off-road races. The X HD cams rolled from all angles on this new style of motor sports with Jason trackside in the high horse jammin war zone of V8 noise, flying gravel and fast trucks! Suburban Records band Dirtball matches the action level with their song "RockRoll"! Raptillian Baby!
See high rev mud slinging action backed by a screaming spectator crowd of over 10,000 with Baja and NASCAR drivers banging it up and going BIG off kickers and berms easily covering 10 truck lengths through the air! It's loud and Jason's proud to be there covering all the moves over the mile long course carved into a mountain - an old stone quarry on the Mexican border - making for a great view of the action from the stands. Sub NoiZe Records band Hed PE pumps it up with their new video "Suffa". Sick POV action shots here from cameras in the rigs as well as from an over-head cable cam capable of 100MPH+ provided by Perpetual Motion.
The next segment rolls hard and fast with more CORR carnage action and The Kottonmouth Kings presenting their rip-hop video 'Living Proof' to the XC audience. Nice Hollywood style shoot-out here to the dirt track action that includes mass destruction and vehicle punch-outs-flips-rolls and fire all over the Chula Vista track!
The segments pound on with more Sub NoiZe music from the Humble Gods pushing their tune 'Destroy' - only the strongest survive! Another nice fit!
In the pits Jason talks to MX legend Jeremy McGrath about CORR and his crossover to 4 wheels! See what he says. After that the relentless high-powered action continues with Jason hanging with a Mariachi band and the sweet Monster girls! More shots here of high priced truck demolition along with mixed cool edit effects and insane airborne race action POV Xcorps style!
Rolling the pits J Man then speaks to CORR drivers Josh Baldwin, Ricky Johnson and Alan Pflueger who talk about their winning race strategies and what they think of CORR! See wide open race moves cut with a new video from the band Junkyard Prophet jamming their song 'Remember Me' presented by RIVE. Sweet fit!
After the break Jason returns to X Zone trackside for more dirt motor racing with the start of the Super Buggy category of off-road motosports fueled by Dirtballs song 'Batter Swing' - a song about baseball that works for these racing shots too!
Jason catches up with race event organizer Deanne Vernengo who talks about the races and the rugged track.
The show closes out with Jason ducking flying gravel and the Humble Gods doing their song 'Destroy' along more sick cable cam and in car POV video from Chula Vista at cool outdoor track called 'The Quarry'.
CORR - Championship Offroad Racing is race genre born from the Baja Mexico 500/1000 races which led to the development of a wide range of tough custom 2 and 4 wheel drive off-road race vehicles including 800HP trucks with massive suspensions along with Pro Lite street style trucks, dirt buggies, trophy carts, ATV's and Rhino racers. James Baldwin was instrumental in developing and bringing the races to the people with stadium style race events championed by Mickey Thompson in the 1960's. Now many members of the Baldwin family help manage, promote and race in CORR events.
Keeping it fresh with CORR motor sports this show includes a new Xcorps music theme by host Jason Lazo!

A great new series from Babel Productions, Temps Mort (time out), begins on the Internet on tempsmort.tv starting July 9th. A massive event on the Internet unlike any other. Never has a series had such complete and immersive content. In 10 episodes of about 5 minutes each, this series follows the story of Joel, a young adult leaving Montreal and trying to return to his family in Rouyn-Noranda, following a cataclysm in the year 2013. He is stopped in the middle of his escape and finds shelter in the countryside. Electricity fails and, in the middle of September, snow suddenly starts to fall. Facing a scenery frozen in time and ice, only his notebook keeps him sane. He
patiently waits for winter to end and for communications to be restored, but there is no sign whatsoever that the situation is going to change… snow keeps on falling and the months go by : April, May, June… and still more snow and no help coming!

What would you do if winter never ended?. (Less)

Real N Raw!

So what is “Real N' Raw?" It is a solutions focused film about reclaiming health and wellbeing. The Director Matty was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 5 after being symptomatic for two years. At age 12 he was told if he did not have his bowel removed and replaced with a colostomy bag he would have cancer by age 19 and not live to see 30. Today he is 35 and is a picture of health. This is a story that gives hope to us in understanding that disease is not a mystery. Health is here if you want it.

Matty is also a top animation artist, who has worked with Warner Brothers, Disney and more. He was trained by one of Disney's top animators and is a co-founder of Animators-Ink. Matty wanted to share what he has learned in the best way he knew by directing our independent film "Real N’ Raw".

“Real N’ Raw” is about reclaiming our health using simple and easy to access solutions. We hope that no child has to go through what Matty went through.

The film is dedicated to our children and to future generations.

Our Vision

At Fruit For Our Children, we seek to restore individual and community health in a simple, natural way. We invite you to become part of an inspiring possibility, to join us in nurturing a positive vision of an abundant future: one which is healthier, happier and less stressful. There are many possible visions of abundance; ours is an abundance of healthy, nutritious fruit, freely available to all, the length and breadth of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

We envision

* growing fruit trees organically, with less toxins and more nutrients

* producing a range of fruit varieties locally, to shorten the distance between the
orchard and the table

* helping create vibrant, healthy communities, through recognition of common needs
and goals

* empowering people of all ages to plant fruit trees on local Marae and the
commons; in church yards, back yards, school yards, town and country

* connecting children with nature, to improve their vitality and overall quality of and
reverence for life
