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.

Almost every author is asked, "Where do you get your
ideas?" For the Charlotte Brody series, each story grew out of a real life
event in or around Cordova's history. While taking artistic license for
tweaking certain details, weaving true-life events and locations into a
fictional account will hopefully lead to a story that's new but also familiar.

Disastrous hurricanes. Widespread droughts and
wildfires. Pervasive heat. And extreme rainfall. It is hard not to conclude
that something’s up with the weather. And many scientists agree this
trend in our weather is not just a coincidence. It’s the result of
the weather machine itself – our climate – changing, becoming hotter, more
erratic.
Climate change is arguably the defining challenge of our
time, yet widespread misunderstanding and misinformation has hampered the
public’s ability to understand the science and address the issue. In this
documentary, NOVA will cut through the confusion and help define the way
forward.
Why do scientists overwhelmingly agree that our climate is
changing, and that human activity is causing it? How will it affect
us through the weather we experience, and when? And what will it take to
bend the trajectory of planetary warming toward more benign outcomes?
Join
scientists around the globe on a quest to better understand the workings of the
weather and climate machine we call Earth, and discover how they are
finding that we can be resilient—even thrive—in the face of enormous
change.

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.
