[CounterCorp] UPDATE: Website, May event, Festival, and more

[CounterCorp News and Events List]

Dear CounterCorp supporter,

	It's been a while since we last communicated with you, but work  
continues apace here at CounterCorp headquarters. Here's the latest  
news on what we're doing:

1) COUNTERCORP WEBSITE 2.0: We're really close to announcing the  
launch of the revised CounterCorp website, courtesy of web guru  
Dennis Williams. The "beta" version of the site is up and running,  
and we are making last minute fixes and changes before it goes live.  
We are seeking some so-called "beta testers" to be the first to see  
and use the site, and find any bugs that need to be squashed before  
the site goes live to the public. If you are interested in getting a  
first look at the site -- and getting reduced-price tickets to the  
next CounterCorp event based on the number of bugs you report --  
please contact our web team at webmaster at countercorp.org.

2) MAY (OR MAY NOT) EVENT: We are talking with several film makers/ 
distributors about a possible screening in late May. Nothing has been  
agreed yet, but we are hoping to hold some sort of public event in  
about a month, so stay tuned for more details on that.

3) TIPPING MAN 3: The 3rd annual CounterCorp Anti-Corporate Film  
Festival is in its early planning stages, and we hope to be able to  
announce the tentative dates and venue soon -- most likely to  
coincide with the launch of the website. So the sooner we can get the  
new website up and running (with your help), the sooner we can  
announce this year's Festival.

4) SF FILM FESTIVAL: CounterCorp has been invited to serve as a  
community partner for this year's San Francisco International Film  
Festival (SFIFF), which runs from April 24-May 8. The 51st SFIFF  
(http://fest08.sffs.org) will screen over 100 unique programs of the  
finest in international cinema, with thousands of film-lovers and  
filmmakers in attendance. The festival celebrates international  
cinema, spotlights local film culture (such as CounterCorp, showcases  
advances in film technology, educates Bay Area youth -- and throws  
some great parties. In short, along with the CounterCorp Festival,  
it’s the best two weeks of the film year. For tickets and information  
visit the festival website at http://fest08.sffs.org or call (925)  
866-9559.

	Thanks as always for your support -- we couldn't do any of this  
without you!
