Hey Musicians and Filmmakers! We're getting ready for the #EllijayMakerspace // #NewEllijayTelevision summer film festival.

We'll start accepting submissions soon.

It's a Television festival, so we encourage short works, and love to see people experimenting with old cameras or low budgets.

This year, we're adding a few categories:

- Pilots:
shoot the pilot episode for a TV show!

- Silents:
Shoot a new silent film, write and record a new score for an old silent film, re-edit an existing silent film to tell a new story

- Ephemera:
Make something small and fleeting, evoke a feeling of being incomplete.

toot-lab is coming home again for sure.

yunohost servers too.

#theTubes will also be online again at some point this summer, and the #EllijayMakerspace will be in the mesh for sure. NewEllijayTV over multicast? not out of the question!

Our record label #AnalogRevolution just released a cassette.

It's called Corridors by the band Red Hot Empty.

It's loud, angry, anti-fascist punk with female vocals and whipfast guitars.

It's on bandcamp, and it's available CC-BY-SA-NC

You can find it here: https://redhotempty.bandcamp.com/album/corridors

You can find other music from our record label here: https://analogrevolution.bandcamp.com/

The album was mastered by the incomparable @DoctorDeathray and the tapes were dubbed off today by myself, the good doctor, and @jess at the #EllijayMakerspace

I think one of my first projects at the ellijay maker space will be to design a generic stomp pedal out of sheet metal and a teensy microcontroller with an eye for coming up with a decent set of effects pedals folk can build themselves on the cheap and easy. #ellijaymakerspace
