For many, coal mining has become a principal source of income and the only alternative to factory jobs in distant cities. But the mines are notoriously dangerous, annually claiming an estimated 5,000 lives. In the documentary, Yuanchen overcomes the challenges presented by filming underground and provides access to what would have otherwise been an untold story. For more on the film: <a href=\"http:\/\/shearwaterfilms.com\/to-the-light\/\">http:\/\/shearwaterfilms.com\/to-the-light\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over the past several years, Journalism News and Documentary students have worked with composers from the Scoring for Film and Multimedia program in the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. The beautiful score for, &#8220;To The Light,&#8221; was composed by NYU student, Edward Underhill as a result of this creative inter-school collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Yuanchen&#8217;s professors Marcia Rock, Jason Samuels, Shimon Dotan and Cora Daniels congratulate him on this wonderful recognition of his hard work and artistry.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan wrote this about the experience:<\/p>\n<p>Everything unfolded just so quickly. I was talking to a magazine writer about my film and we were all waiting for the announcement. I didn&#8217;t prepare anything, absolutely nothing. And Darren Aronovsky (Black Swan) went onto the stage, started to comment on the award. And he said, \u201cit&#8217;s a film about a place that we&#8217;ve never seen before. It is an absolutely incredible film that everyone should see.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/EthanALumS.jpg\"><img align=\"right\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2760 alignleft\" height=\"234\" src=\"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/EthanALumS-300x234.jpg\" title=\"EthanALumS\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a>Then he quickly announced the winner, To the Light. I jumped out of my chair and went up to the stage, shook hands with Darren, and he delivered the award to me. And I said a few things on the stage - thanked the Margaret Mead Festival for choosing my film knowing it is only a student film shot with a SD camera, and not only choose it for the festival, but also give it the top award. I was so excited and elated and almost cried. Images of the past experience living in that village for four months with the miners, following them to the underground, and everything just flowed into my mind. To achieve something like this in China would be impossible. I hope the recognition of the film will help get it seen in China so more Chinese can understand the plight of the miners.<\/p>"},{"id":"16305252575","url":"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.tumblr.com\/post\/16305252575","url-with-slug":"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.tumblr.com\/post\/16305252575\/sharon-la-cruise-documentary-to-air-on-pbs","type":"regular","date-gmt":"2012-01-12 05:00:00 GMT","date":"Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:00:00","bookmarklet":0,"mobile":0,"feed-item":"","from-feed-id":0,"unix-timestamp":1326344400,"format":"html","reblog-key":"Z3cxzbKP","slug":"sharon-la-cruise-documentary-to-air-on-pbs","regular-title":"Sharon La Cruise Documentary to Air on PBS","regular-body":"<p>Sharon La Cruise produced the documentary Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock On Independent Lens.<\/p>\n<p>Feb 2, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nyunewsdoc\/6744132109\/\" title=\"FINAL POSTCARD FRONT82012 by nyunewsdoc, on Flickr\"><img alt=\"FINAL POSTCARD FRONT82012\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7032\/6744132109_996bdfa0d5_b.jpg\" width=\"696\"\/><\/a><\/p>"},{"id":"15733241971","url":"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.tumblr.com\/post\/15733241971","url-with-slug":"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.tumblr.com\/post\/15733241971\/alum-andrew-hongo-screens-thesis-film-worldwide","type":"regular","date-gmt":"2012-01-09 19:59:00 GMT","date":"Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:59:00","bookmarklet":0,"mobile":0,"feed-item":"","from-feed-id":0,"unix-timestamp":1326139140,"format":"html","reblog-key":"FhoOnc9y","slug":"alum-andrew-hongo-screens-thesis-film-worldwide","regular-title":"Alum Andrew Hongo screens thesis film worldwide","regular-body":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/L1010528-MR-andrew2S.jpg\"><img align=\"left\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2775\" height=\"192\" src=\"http:\/\/nyunewsdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/L1010528-MR-andrew2S-295x300.jpg\" title=\"L1010528 MR andrew2S\" width=\"189\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>NYU alum Andrew Hongo&#8217;s thesis film &#8220;Legacy,&#8221; was recently screened at the Docutah International Film Festival and the UNSPOKEN Human Rights Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Hongo has also been traveling with his films in Cambodia screening it in orphanages, drug rehab centers, and villages across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Legacy, a riveting 40-minute documentary about Cambodian streetkids, will be screening on Wednesday, January 11th at 6pm as part of the New Filmmakers series.
