Shelagh Carter: Rifting/Blue

My friend Shelagh Carter, director (stage, film), actress, teacher, was asked to submit a short experimental film she directed to an Italian film festival, which then led to an online film festival: Babelgum Online Film Festival. There are entries from filmmakers all over the world. It’s pretty awesome. Her film Rifting/Blue can be viewed, in part, here. More about the film festival here. And they are asking you (as in: the folks online) to vote (instructions on how to do so is there on that main page).

You can leave comments, share your favourites, learn more about the jury members and honorary judge Spike Lee and of course cast your vote in all seven categories.

So go and vote!!

Shelagh’s one of those people who says things like, “Yeah, there’s this huge grant for new film-makers … and the competition is insane, but whatever, I decided on a lark to apply for it – and I got it!” I love that about her. She’s one of those people who just says “Yes”. To everything.

Good work, Shelagh!

    Damn, I admire people like that, and wish I could have been more like them in my life. All too often, I have been one of those people who decided it was much more practical to say, “Not this time.” I look forward to watching the result of her efforts, although I’m not sure “effort” is the correct term for people like Shelagh. For them, it seems like it’s just “living.”
