We’ll take a torrent or a direct download of MP3 or OGG files. Please indicate whether you’d like us to offer a free download of your music or promotional materials.

Films/videos should be mailed on DVD or submitted via e-mail with a link to a stream or download. We’d love to host your work, so please let us know if we can include a trailer or sample from the film in our review.

Do you know about the Beehive Collective in Maine? I think you’d appreciate their work. http://www.beehivecollective.org

Check out a new project I am developing. Would appreciate your feedback. http://thecandleproject.blogspot.com/

Dave,

Idea! How about designing a logo for la vila that can be made into a car sticker. I had a women today thank me for the campaign saying she wanted a way to show her solidarity with Hispanics but could not smile at men in public for fear of being mis-read. She and her family plan to make candles with La Vila written on them to place in the car window. Maybe an oval shape like is so popular. Something that would be a quick recognizer. Not sure about working……. maybe La Vila : Stop Immigrant Abuse!

DO you have an on line sticker resource? Would be great to make them available online at no profit.

THANKS!
