Holy crap, Logorama is awesome if you haven’t seen it yet.

‘Ana’s Playground,’ filmed in Minneapolis to help children affected by war, will screen Saturday

The Cedar-Riverside skyline is turned into a war-ravaged neighborhood in “Ana’s Playground,” a 20-minute film about the impact of war and violence on children that is receiving its premiere public screening Saturday at the close of the Nobel Peace Prize Forum at Augsburg College. Those familiar with the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis will recognize buildings from time to time while watching “Ana’s Playground,” though much of the setting will probably seem unfamiliar, along with a prominent sculpture that was created by art students at Augsburg College.

Former 'CCO Producer Makes Movie On Runestone

“When former I-Team producer Maria Awes did a story about the Kensington Runestone a couple years ago, she knew it would make a good movie. Maria and Andy [Awes] hope their film will prompt further study of the Kensington Runestone and similar runestones found on the East Coast. A farmer, Olof Ohman, discovered the Kensington stone in 1898. An inscription on it referred to, “eight Goths and 22 Norwegians on exploration journey.” And there is a year listed — 1362, which is more than 100 years before Columbus sailed to the New World.”

Andy is a good friend of mine from growing up and I can’t wait to see the two hour movie on the History Channel later this month.
