Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
…and offer you all the opportunity to shoot your mouth off. seriously. chiasmus press is offering you the opportunity to engage in diatribes, rants, manifestos, righteous monologues, found footage manipulations via a video blog. you create it, host it yourself and link it or send it in, and if selected, we’ll post it on our site. come on, admit it. just like us, you sit around at night in your underwear in slightly altered states and HOLD FORTH . . . only usually it’s just you, your partner, and the dog or fish staring at you blankly, kinda wishing you’d go to sleep already.
well.
we want you. we’d like to invent a new form of commentary for literature, and we need mouths.
rules of engagement:
1. videos must be limited to two minutes (more or less).
2. videos must engage a topic related to literature/art/writing or politics (but your continental “drift” can hook up to anything. i.e. literature and particle physics. writing and religious fanaticism. art and starvation…you get the idea).
3. must be passionate, feisty, worth an audience listening to.
4. unless posted by an invited video blogger, videos will go through a “submission” selection to weed out monkey chow.
technical requirements:
please post video clips on your server and link to them on our blog like you would any other blog posting.
too complex? then send us your two minute video rant/production on mini dv cassette or send your quicktime movie on dvd or cd to:
