General Discussion / Orators of Ink TV show
« on: March 12, 2012, 05:17:43 PM »
Hello slamfam. As some of you already know, the next show dedicated to us poets is on the horizon. Distributed through a nonprofit network, FreeSpeechTV, it will showcase poets from around the country. The show will not only focus on the poetry, but how the poetry is applied in the greater social climate. Tazuo Yamaguchi and myself will begin traveling, and compiling footage for the project next month. It will mix interviews, performance, and day to day lives. Discussions have already began with the EC, to utilize competition footage. Alongside the series, promotional material will also be created for PSI events. The network broadcasts to approximately 430,000 viewers via satellite, internet, and radio. They are incredibly excited about the project, as all of you should be. The title of the show will be Orators of Ink. Over the next week I will start threads to confirm the exploratory committee for grants and funding, and to give further detail on the project as it progresses. Thank you all, and we can't wait to come to a city near you!
