I went to visit Stephen Wingate for his weekly tuesday talk in Arlington, Massachusetts. This is a 44 minute talk on something very simple - very profound. When digested, this discussion takes our mind to the limits of knowledge, to the fringes of the mind's capacity. This is the end of all belief in ideas - the idea of suffering, and the idea of a future heaven or a progressive technique to enlightenment. Thank you to Stephen Wingate for sharing your understanding. His website is: http://www.livinginpeace-the

The short movie "Crows" represents a journey of a young artist from this world, to another world. It is a symbol of a journey from the reality to divinity, from a moment, to eternity. The state of mind of a young man, an artist, whose work and art, as well as his unique and exceptional ideas are not recognized or valued in the society. Therefore, his emotional expressions are raised through the movie, as he decides to bury his own soul. The text, mostly written in verse, philosophical poetry, expresses the deep thoughts on life and death, people and the time, and it praises art above all, and its connection to eternity. In addition to this, it is also possible to consider this movie to be the movie of art, and the movie of life connected with escapism from the social conventions.

Xcorps Action Sports Show #44.)"PADDLEBOARD"-seg.4- This special BIG X WAVE episode tidal waves the screen with host Jason Lazo in Hawaii hanging with tow in surf hombres Garrett McNamara and Kealii Mamala ripping big waves off Hawaii and Tahiti along with a look at the sport of open ocean paddle boarding in California featuring the 32 mile Catalina Classic.
Jason opens the show from scenic Cardiff Reef California where a group of local watermen are on the beach talking about their recent ocean race paddling from the island of Catalina to the So California coastal town of Manhattan Beach a distance of 32 miles! Jason talks to top seated arm paddlers Tim Fischer, Brian Szymanski and George Plsek about the endurance ocean journey which began back in 1928 with Tom Blake taking just under 6 hours to make the arm paddle trip.
Check out the cool scenes with heli shots over the exotic Mediterranean looking village of Avalon on Catalina Island where the paddle race began. Great POV Xcam shots here putting the viewer on board with the athletes. Eddy Grants song The Struggle fits the action in this tough arm-burning historic race. Check the pod of Pilot Whales rolling the coarse!
After the break Jason and the X crew head to the North Shore of Hawaii to meet with big wave tow-in surfers Garrett McNamara and Kealii Mamala for a look at a niche end of surfing bringing on the biggest adrenalized rush! The boys from team Hawthorne are rolling their jetski and go big phat and fast for the Xcorps cameras! See them tow in to ride monster walls off the North shore at a break called Log Cabins, off Maui with the freight trains at Jaws and in Tahiti jamming the infamous teal tubes of Teahoopu.
The next segment tows in with more massive surf shots and roaring waves cut with Japanese indie band legends BORIS winding up their strings with their new video Statement riding alongside the action. Only on Xcorps! Jason talks with board masters Garrett and Kealii about the sport and recent overhead conquests. Garrett raps about how it feels to be just in front of rolling tons of water and what viewers could do to get that feeling! Kealii talks about his recent trip to California to test ride Mavericks. See the details on the guys who ride and the state of the boards now used to roll these mega waves. Insane shots as usual including the wild tow rope cam and sweet sea turtle footage under the waves! SubNoiZe band Dirtball feeds the need here with their song Im Not. Not a band to back down and we appreciate it here on Xcorps where we let the music roll with the action!
Jason opens the last segment from the Cardiff Reef beach with paddlboarder and local PIPES surf cafe chain owner Tim Fischer talking about how he felt at the start and end of a 32 mile open ocean paddle. Always the comedy on Xcorps!

Xcorps Action Sports Show #39.) "SPEED" seg.3 - Another all American horsepower episode this one called SPEED with Xcorps cameras rolling at The Bonneville Salt Flats Speedway Utah for SPEEDWEEK with the fastest cars on the planet going for land speed records!
X man and guest host Rat Sult rolled the full size X motor coach north from San Diego to Utah's western edge exiting at the historic and beautifully vast Bonneville salt speed track, which extends for more than 30 miles- dead flat and ready for speed! The 'Speed Week' event is sanctioned and organized by the SCTA - Southern California Timing Association - and is held every year at the Utah state park, near Wendover Utah on US-80, where an elite group of worldwide motor sports speed enthusiasts meet to go for the records in their custom machines.
The show opens with some scenic road shots and a look at the RIVE provided band The Clay People hammering their high octane song 'Supersonic Overdrive' in their cool retro 60's video. Nice fit with those dancing girls! XC host Jason Lazo's new show theme song carries the action into segment one with Rat driving his mega coach on the salt and land speed record holder Mike Nish driving the Royal Purple streamliner car full tilt on the flats!
After the break Rat checks out the salt track and heads for the starting line where high horse vehicles in all classes from top fuel dragsters to classic street muscle to modified trucks and street bikes lining up for take off! See the full speed runs and hear the actual official times read over the radio sets. Suburban Noize band Dirtball rolls right with the action including a high speed out of control hood losing spin across the tricky salt crystal track. Check out a classic 1970 Plymouth Super Bird ready for takeoff and a '71 Camero doing a spin out at over 250MPH launching the car end over end into the desert air! Close ups of the wrecked rig here too!
The next segment takes a look at what the street bikes can do and Rat talks to Richard Thomason owner of Danny Boy 2 - a modified airplane fuel drop tank - who talks about what it's like to drive all out! See his max speed in this unique speed class all overseen by the SCTA.
After that the Sub NoiZe records band Mondo Generator jams the flats to a collage of motor cars from Buicks and Fords to rice rockets to turbine powered never imagined vehicles in all sizes and colors. Rat takes a looks at the fastest car of the week - the awesome Nish Motor sports Royal Purple streamliner ripping past the 370 MPH mark! All American custom engineered! Rat cruises the pits and talks to driver Mike Nish who talks about his speed runs. Insane shots here looking out the back of his car as well as a POV dash-cam showing how big his eyes get at these white knuckle speeds! It's all about adrenaline here on The Xcorps!
The action and music continue with a look at the semi truck class of speed demons. Watch a double diesel engine custom modified trailer-hauler take off and blast down the salt track at over 229 MPH! That's truckin!
The show wraps with show host Rat Sult on the track with an un-authorized race of his own driving in the motor home class! See his full sized rig roll against a vintage South Wind coach at floor pedal speed! High octane smiles here for sure! That's the way we roll on The Xcorps!

This is my Senior Thesis film I just finished at Alfred State College in southern New York. It's about two cookies, one is passive, and the other is very overbearing. It's a story about their journey from inside their cookie bag, the only thing they've known their entire lives to a brand new world, outside their cookie bag on a kitchen table. It's a bit of a morbid comedy, I think most of the jokes hit so enjoy!. (Less)

Xcorps Action Sports Show #40.) "HELLS CANYON" - seg2 - The Xcorps TV crew rolled 1000 miles north of San Diego to shoot in Hells Canyon Idaho on the Snake River - a remote canyon - at 7000 feet is deeper than the Grand Canyon!
The HD cams rolled BIG on Xcorps host Jason Lazo as he explored the pristine wilderness and ripped UP wild rapids on a 700HP twin 350 jet-boat supplied by Killgore Adventures based in the nearby town of White Bird Idaho-population 150! Jet-boat captain Eric Pardue piloted the custom and super rugged aluminum boat 'Moonshine' with cool skill as up to 5 cameras captured the X action. Also Euro TV producer Radomir Krkic filmed for his show "Fishing World" currenlly airing in Europe.
Idaho is a state that contains some of the most pristine and primitive outdoor areas in the U.S. and The Xcorps felt right at home there! HD cams recorded more than 100 miles of scenic wild Snake River home to sports game fish like Rainbow and Steelhead trout, Salmon, Bass and the massive and primitive river Sturgeon.
Jason baited a line for this monster fish reeling in a near record 9-foot 300 lb beast with great video shots resulting including some from the infamous XC underwater cam! The big fish was released tired but unharmed after the catch.

Xcorps Action Sports Show #14.) "BASE-2" - Those fearing heights beware - this episode of the Xcorps freefalls right over the edge with guest host and world class B.A.S.E. jumper Ray Murphy falling into a 1200 foot glory hole in Mexico called Cave of the Swallows. For the ultimate in ground rushes Ray and 5 loco amigo hombres from the States - Matt McClone, Jeremy Brice, Morgan Moert, Travis Meimann, and Dan Langstraat strap on parasails that look like small backpacks and launch themselves into the massive underground void where very few have gone before. Surreal action scenes here along with great tunes by Off by One, Drowning Pool and cool new breakout band from New England - Jediah all mixing well with the ambient cave audio echo.
B.A.S.E. jumpers - Buildings - Antennas - Structures - Earth are an insane and growing niche of adventurers who first must do thousands of jumps from aircraft to learn the needed skills to jump closer to earth. Jumping BASE is jumping with no margin for error. Feel true terror with scenes shot with multi helmet cams worn by the six eXtremists. The viewer is pulled downward with adrenalized clarity into one of the largest limestone sinkholes on the planet - The Cave of the Swallows near the remote town of Golondrinas in Eastern Mexico. The hole is 1200 feet deep - a seven second 100 mph B.A.S.E. drop into an echo chamber filled with sound of screaming freefalls and the wail of thousands of swallows and parrots living in the vertical cave walls. Surreal for sure! Watch those boulders when landing! There are no nearby hospitals. See how they get out.
Mid way through the show Ray introduces a new music video from our friends at Rive music promotions with the band NickelBack cranking up the volume with an explosive solid rock performance of their song - Figured You Out.
After that Ray returns with more BASE action followed by Xcorps host Bob Woodard riding a new skateboard from our friends at PHAT boards. Bob rolls the hills of Point Loma San Diego with the Hammerhead super wide track pushed by tunes from Drowning Pool. Cool board to see. Hear what Bob thinks of the ride.
After that its back to Ray in Mexico going even bigger and some great shots from a cameraman hanging half way down on a rope. Is that what a falling body sounds like!
The show wraps with some sweet wakeboard shots - a preview of an upcoming Xcorps episode. Additional music by One Side Zero, Rolling Stones and Dr.Dre. Mucho loco! TRT-29:30 4/04 Close Captioned - J.S.Edmondson.

What would it be like to abandon your independence, to need people, to rely on strangers for food and transport, safety and kindness - and to film it all?
Born and raised in South Africa, Kyle and Tarynn embarked on an adventure - to hitch-hike across the United States of America. Before they leave, a concerned friend offers them a colt 45 pistol as protection from 'the crazies'. Heading out of New York City, with a thumb in the air, the two friends’ journey, one car at a time, into a world of trailer parks, drugs, and American fast food. They find themselves spending the night with Dave, his forty cats and electric guitars! And their lives begin to change. Friendship is tested. They find their perfect family in a log cabin in Tennessee and accept God in a pick up truck with a man named Bob. Staying with strangers in a foreign land turns out to be a journey closer to home.
Shot on two tiny hand-held cameras, 111 is a tour through the cultural backwoods of America, a keyhole into a friendship and two people yearning for discovery. 111 is the number of rides it takes to accept people for who they are - to trust life.
So get in the car. (Less)

Xcorps Action Sports Show #11.) "MTN.HIGH" - The Xcorps team heads to fresh pal powder in this winter episode shot at So. Cals Mtn High resort and Alaskas Valdez Mtns.
Sweet XC host Roslyn Bradle opens the show with a little air under her snowboard at Mtn High in Wrightwood Ca looking good and moving fast. Also the first shots of the elusive and rare Guerilla Boarder - the resorts own BigFoot - appear here with XC cams catching the beast pulling moves to Maverick Records band Soul Hooligan. The monkey has talents!
What follows next is what we do best cutting the edge with hosts Bob Woodard and Eric Ducharme testing out the new model snow bikes with a Go Big attitude and a knack for avoiding the ski patrol. MRM Placement band Issues pumps the POV style action on these bikes with Bob and Eric leaving all behind. Check out X Guru Ducharmes massive Big Air over the Gap! Warning - do not attempt these moves - our hosts are fully XC qualified and adrenalized into a near mad mental state! After that Roslyn talks to Mountain Highs John McColly about the seasons events like the H2o Winter Classic and the ever-popular Pond Skim event which Bob and Eric take part in. Its not easy skimming across an ice pond to the other side but team XC steps up with Bob on his snowboard and Eric on his monoski. Lots of laughs here for sure with many that fail and dunk hard! See how Bob and Eric handle the H2o crossing. Sweet Roslyn riding the ski lift intros a new music video from Maverick Records hot chick band - Lillix. Nice high-end talent and production values here and the girls can sing!
Following the video field XC host Pete Clark reports from Prince William Sound Valdez Alaska where he joins with Points North Heli Adventures for some X style vert boarding.

LOCATION: REDCAR, NORTH-EAST ENGLAND.
RT: 72 mins
YEAR OF PRODUCTION: 2009
Documentary about a coastal community's campaign to stop the local council selling off covenant-protected common land and beach front to build a housing estate under the guise of a fantastical leisure scheme.
In the Summer of 2009, Redcar & Cleveland Council announced a £30m scheme to
regenerate Redcar seafront...But what happened to The £88m Coatham Links scheme of 2002 ?! After 7 years of council hype, the great “Rennaissance for Redcar” has seen over a MILLION pounds spent and NOT ONE brick laid of any new tourism and leisure facilities.
COATHAM IS A COMMON CONCERN because every taxpayer in this borough has paid for it. Like the MPs expenses scandal that outraged the nation, the Coatham leisure scandal involves all the parties grossly misusing our money. But this amount far exceeds the cost of Redcar MP Vera Baird’s Xmas decorations...
Now you can learn the REAL facts of a bungling, hellbent council that has failed Redcar; that has shown contempt for democracy and YOU the public. WE SAY ENOUGH !
In May 2009, this film was shown in PARLIAMENT and in Coatham church to 600 people. MP VERA BAIRD TRIED TO STOP BOTH SHOWS but NO legal action was taken. Thanks to public donations the truth can now be told. . (Less)
