- Sujewa has an excellent, in-depth interview with Northwest Film Forum Co-Founder Jamie Hooks:

Jamie: The NWFF was borne of frustration: At the time (1994) Seattle had no real filmmaking organization that focused on that oh-so-unpopular notion of helping people working in the filmic medium make ART. There were access orgs, but their missions were all confused, wrapped up in this notion of access to democratic tools of expression, blah blah blah and I was interested in, simply, film as art. 911 Media Arts was typical of those organizations where the administrators came before the artists on whose backs they build their case to exist, and I found it downright humiliating. So I started NWFF out of frustration with that.

Filmmakers, do check it out.

- I finished the intital draft of my screenplay "Lightning Bugs." Looking forward to intial reactions, response, notes, etc.
