(April 2005-January 2006) and is now its coordinator (February 2006-to the present).
As Coordinator, Lee has helped establish connections between students from
UCSC and video students from San Lorenzo Valley High. University students
will serve as media mentors in the high school class room and serve as production
crew leaders in co-created student video productions focused on socially
relevant topics. These students are currently working on three documentary shorts
to be screened on May 27, 2006 at the Attic in Santa Cruz.
Video Background
Lee's background is as a video producer/ video
activist. He
has created short documentary pieces in both video and audio format,
on topics of indigenous culture struggles and issues, social analysis
and critique upon pace of american lifestyle and correlations
to stress levels and possible solutions to this phenomena, exploration
of using sound and vibration as a healing modality with ancient roots and
new possibilities with modern technology and techniques. He
also worked with Santa Cruz Indy Media in producing
a video documenting the 2004 presidential election based in Santa
