ORIANA BOLDENReaction to Mehserle Verdict: Oakland, CA: 8 July 2010Oakland, CA Protest/Picket of Israeli Ship: June 20, 2010Oriana Bolden 101 - Cultural WorkerI live in Oakland, CA.I believe communication is a human right and I practice self-reliant cinema as often and where ever possible.
I run around with a JVC HM100 with a Letus Mini and a few lenses. Lately, I've been rockin' a T2i with a ultra fabulous Rokkor f1.2 lens. The minuscule amount of battery time that the T2i battery gives is painful, but the images thus far have been beautiful.My film/video heroes are Marlon Riggs and Sara Gomez. They both died tragically young and I am too young to have had the opportunity to have met them, but their works have had a profound impact on me. Octavia Butler is also someone I look to for storytelling inspiration.
