Music needed for indie documentary
Hello Musicians & Composers,
I’m looking for music! For an indie documentary about Christianity in Asia. I’d say stylistically it’s kinda like Michael Moore meets Planet B-Boy.
We’re looking for all types of music, so no, the music does not need to be of the Christian genre. Open to hip hop, rock, electronic, instrumentals, etc. We are looking for both produced tracks as well as samples of composed music.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a budget for this, so this is definitely for people who’d like to collaborate with some good peeps, contribute their music to a passion project that has the intention of reaching the masses, and of course a film credit for your resume.
Please submit any links to music or inquiries about the project to: grace@peachies.net
We are on a pretty tight post-production schedule, so please do get in touch with me ASAP if you’re interested. Thanks!

LEAP’s Student Conference and Summer Internship
For all you college/grad students out there, here are two great opportunities from Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP):
1) STEP UP!, the 2nd Annual Nissan Student Leadership Summit
Coming up on Saturday, March 7th! Featuring seven personal and organizational development workshops designed and facilitated by community leaders, this one-day conference will empower students to STEP UP! as leaders on campus, strengthen their organizations, and develop strong visions for the future. Come meet fellow student leaders from across California, learn new skills together, and organize for the years ahead!
2) Leadership in Action (LIA) Summer internship program
Interested in organizing for the community? Curious how life is like at a nonprofit job? Want to find all these things out while also developing your leadership skills and getting paid?
LIA is a paid eight-week summer internship that places interns at local, Asian and Pacific Islander (API), community-based organizations. Four days of the week, interns are placed in a range of API community-based organizations in order to gain real-life experience working at nonprofits. Every fifth day, interns come back to LEAP for leadership development workshops, panels, and dialogues with community leaders.
Program Date: June 22, 2009 – August 14, 2009
For more information about STEP UP! and LIA, visit the LEAP website, www.leap.org.
