The final video version of the presentation I did at Florida State University's Future of the Book conference held at Turnbull Conference Center in Talahassee, FL, last month. It's central idea is that we are in the process of moving from a literal tradition of sharing and passing on culture to a social tradition.
The video inclues footage of Genie officiating at our 2009 Renewing Our Commitment ceremony. I've been submitting it to festivals around the country, with an emphasis on the South, where Genie's story will resonate the strongest.
For Such A Time As This will be premiered tonight at QFest, Houston's LGBTQ film festival. I am especially pleased that it will be featured as a special presentation kicking off the Girl Shorts program.

ABBA:
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend

The HMI Redux features a youth chorus from the Hetrick-Martin Institute who also appear in the music video, directed by filmmaker Jason Stein.
