Have you always been interested in making films but
couldn't get started because you didn't have money, experience, equipment, a
crew, actors, money, props, location permits, make-up, money, or money? Us too!
Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.
Please come and
join us as we trudge the happy road to creative silliness and sometimes seriousness.

At the Listening Post we believe listening with our full attention and compassion has powerful results.
There is a level of dignity we can offer as one human being to another: We can listen. Everyone's story is different. Some stories are difficult, some daring, some happy, some sad. But there is something we all have in common - Being Heard Matters.
Everyone deserves to be listened to. That is what The Listening Post is here to do - honor you, offer you respect, and hear your story.

Join the Anchorage International Film Festival for two documentary films (one feature and one short) made in Alaska about Alaska.
Losing Alaska is the story of the people of Newtok, some three hundred and seventy five Americans citizens whose homes are disappearing. As winter storms grow more fierce each year and steal more of the coastline, summer meltwaters surge down the Ninglick river and erode the edges of the town. Rising temperatures are melting the permafrost on which the town is built. Our film follows their efforts build a new town on safer ground before the inevitable flood washes their homes away.

Are you happy, worried, or confused about how President Trump’s proposals could change your
life or impact your children’s future?
Come to the Loussac Library, for a facilitated discussion on what you
are thinking and feeling.
This is a program of discussions on Doing Democracy facilitated by Let’s Talk Alaska (LTAK). Listen to your neighbors, share your concerns, and discuss what you might do about them – individually and with others who care.
This is a new variation on a program in civic dialogue created by Alaska Common Ground and the Anchorage Library called Let’s Talk Alaska. Our prior discussions were on topics we selected guided by discussions guides we authored. Now, you – the participants – will choose the topics you wish to explore. The only requirement is that they address the program purpose of Doing Democracy and can be discussed in terms of the following questions:
1.
What about
this topic makes me Happy? Worried?
Confused?
2.
How does
this topic fit with the founding values of our nation as set forth in our
Constitution?
3. What can we do about this topic that upholds the
values we hold dear?

At the Listening Post we believe listening with our full attention and compassion has powerful results.
There is a level of dignity we can offer as one human being to another: We can listen. Everyone's story is different. Some stories are difficult, some daring, some happy, some sad. But there is something we all have in common - Being Heard Matters.
Everyone deserves to be listened to. That is what The Listening Post is here to do - honor you, offer you respect, and hear your story.

Have you always been interested in making films but
couldn't get started because you didn't have money, experience, equipment, a
crew, actors, money, props, location permits, make-up, money, or money? Us too!
Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.
Please come and
join us as we trudge the happy road to creative silliness and sometimes seriousness.

We’ve been here before. Petroleum revenues have benefited Alaska greatly, but these revenues are highly volatile and largely at the whim of global forces beyond state control.
Alaska Common Ground recognizes that to achieve a strong and stable economy our state will need an ongoing income stream large enough to pay for essential state governmental services. This event will examine the costs of a start-and-stop economy and the benefits of a stable source of state income.

At the Listening Post we believe listening with our full attention and compassion has powerful results.
There is a level of dignity we can offer as one human being to another: We can listen. Everyone's story is different. Some stories are difficult, some daring, some happy, some sad. But there is something we all have in common - Being Heard Matters.
Everyone deserves to be listened to. That is what The Listening Post is here to do - honor you, offer you respect, and hear your story.

How did a young Frenchman provide the best hope for a people in quest of their cultural identity? When Guillaume Leduey was 13 years old, he discovered the Eyak culture when reading about endangered languages. At 20 years of age and upon the invitation of filmmaker, Laura Bliss Spaan, he travelled to Alaska and to Eyak ancestral lands in Cordova.
This began Guillaume’s journey and surprising role at a pivotal point in Eyak language revitalization. Now, a fluent speaker, Guillaume continues to teach the Eyak language. Dr Michael Krauss, a linguist and professor, is still passionate about the Eyak and has been tirelessly documenting the language since the 1960s.
Together, Guillaume and “Mike” are currently transcribing the Eyak Dictionary and texts to digital format and have become honored members of the Eyak community.

crew, actors, money, props, location permits, make-up, money, or money? Us too!
Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.

At the Listening Post we believe listening with our full attention and compassion has powerful results.
There is a level of dignity we can offer as one human being to another: We can listen. Everyone's story is different. Some stories are difficult, some daring, some happy, some sad. But there is something we all have in common - Being Heard Matters.
Everyone deserves to be listened to. That is what The Listening Post is here to do - honor you, offer you respect, and hear your story.

Have you always been interested in making films but
couldn't get started because you didn't have money, experience, equipment, a
crew, actors, money, props, location permits, make-up, money, or money? Us too!
Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.
Please come and
join us as we trudge the happy road to creative silliness and sometimes seriousness.

Are you happy, worried, or confused about how President Trump’s proposals could change your
life or impact your children’s future?
Come to the Loussac Library, for a facilitated discussion on what you
are thinking and feeling.
This is a program of discussions on Doing Democracy facilitated by Let’s Talk Alaska (LTAK). Listen to your neighbors, share your concerns, and discuss what you might do about them – individually and with others who care.
This is a new variation on a program in civic dialogue created by Alaska Common Ground and the Anchorage Library called Let’s Talk Alaska. Our prior discussions were on topics we selected guided by discussions guides we authored. Now, you – the participants – will choose the topics you wish to explore. The only requirement is that they address the program purpose of Doing Democracy and can be discussed in terms of the following questions:
1.
What about
this topic makes me Happy? Worried?
Confused?
2.
How does
this topic fit with the founding values of our nation as set forth in our
Constitution?
3. What can we do about this topic that upholds the
values we hold dear?

couldn't get started because you didn't have money, experience, equipment, a
crew, actors, money, props, location permits, make-up, money, or money? Us too!
Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.
Please come and
join us as we trudge the happy road to creative silliness and sometimes seriousness.

At the Listening Post we believe listening with our full attention and compassion has powerful results.
There is a level of dignity we can offer as one human being to another: We can listen. Everyone's story is different. Some stories are difficult, some daring, some happy, some sad. But there is something we all have in common - Being Heard Matters.
Everyone deserves to be listened to. That is what The Listening Post is here to do - honor you, offer you respect, and hear your story.
