Wade, this week's conversation with NH State Representatives Mary Hakken-Phillips, Russell Muirhead with VT Reps Becca White and Jim Masland touches on the contrasting legislative approaches to reproductive rights in two states, with increasing protections in VT and restrictions in NH. Other topics include the courage of legislators who sacrificed their seats to pass Civil Unions in VT and procedural extremes to get legislators to vote.

Feature Screenwriting

with Rivers Cahee

We all possess a voice, unique to our lives as individuals. In this workshop, I will focus on helping our artists enhance their voices, while also applying structure into the stories they wish to tell. We will begin with screenwriting’s basic principles, from the premise, through the relationship between character and plot with a focus on writing for feature film format. 

Rivers Cahee is a screenwriter and learning filmmaker from Lafayette, Louisiana. At Dartmouth, he pivoted from football to pursue the arts. Upon graduation, Rivers completed two short films and won the James Joseph Kaplan ‘Filmmaker of the Year’ award. He is now stationed in New York City where he is beginning his career as a writer for AMC studios.

Digital Music Production

with Chris Lehmann

In this hands-on workshop, I will share my current interest: orchestral music composition for film and video games. We will explore the storytelling power of music as well as the nuts and bolts of creating it with entirely digital tools. Depending on participants’ interests, we may also touch on producing electronic dance music.

Chris Lehmann is a composer, producer and musician based in Boston. He has experience playing guitar and piano, but almost all of his music is created electronically. In his 10+ years of producing he has released over 30 original songs, and created many tutorial videos on YouTube to help others interested in music production.

Erika Redic for Congress - Vote Vermont

In this hour-long interview Republican candidate for Congress Erika Redic discusses her belief that "the Green Mountain State has become better known for its mountain of taxes and regulations than its ski resorts.
