Robin,
I would love to go see your film. I am scheduled to be selling bags at Taste of Fort Collins and am not sure if I can get to Boulder. Will there be other showings coming up?
Thanks,

I'm a video editor and independent filmmaker with specific interest in projects concerning social justice and cultural issues. I am just completing a documentary I shot in Zimbabwe in 2007, and have plans to begin a new project in Uganda this fall.
Hello, Robin. My name is Karlina and I have a son attending Zach Elementary in Fort Collins. I have organized a new parent group at Zach and we are hosting our first Cultural Fair on Friday, May 1st from 6-8:30 pm. I read one of your messages where you explained that you are in a band. Would your band be interested in playing before or during the Fair? Thank you for your consideration. Karlina
Hi, Robin! Sounds excellent! I'm sure you know all the stories about the Educate! students, but nothing comes close to meeting them in person -- they are truly the most incredible group of people I've ever met. I hope your plans to travel to Uganda work out :)
Hi Robin,
It is great to see here. We had a marimba group play at our community Christmas party this December and it was awesome. Please let us know when your concert is. We have also talked about having some type of community event this summer that we would love to have you perform at.
I love documentaries! I bet I watch 150-200 a year. I have a hard time watching a regular movie and it drives my family crazy!
Would you be interested in working with Africa Bags and utilizing your video talents? That is one area we need some help with. We had a CSU student make a short video about the project and we loved it but she is studying abroad now. We are heading back to Malawi for 3 weeks at the end of May and hope to bring back a lot of footage that would make good videos for our website, You tube or something else.
It is great to see you here and I look forward to meeting you.
Hi Robin, I went to your website the other day. The photography is so beautiful and the film about Zimbabwe looks amazing. I mentioned to Aimee that I met you. I saw her right after leaving Eric's meeting. She remembered it well. It is a small world - but especially for us with the same heart. We seem to all gravitate to each other. Welcome to Passion Africa. I assume that you are new on here? Also are you on facebook? This is a great place to post your film information. Take care and it was so great to meet you. It would be great to have lunch in Boulder some time. When are you headed back for Africa? We are going in June. Beth
