Headwaters Action Video Collective (HAVC) in association with Earth Films and Tobermory Studios, is a direct-action video response/documentary production team. Earth Films is a web-based project distributing HAVC's videos and other video activists' work. It helps produce content for the new "Direct Action News Reel" on Free Speech TV's twenty-four-hour satellite channel (DISH network). We plan to produce public service announcements (PSAs) and video press releases (VPRs). We have provided video and web support for the "Striptease to Save the Trees" direct actions and to the Rainbow Ridge Free State in the Mattole. We post photos from breaking-news events to www.earthfilms.org. (Reuters downloaded our image of the Luna cut the day the news broke.)

We encourage groups to work with us; because media and video can be expensive, please set aside funds. We also offer nonprofit and individual activists low-cost videos for resale to help fundraise.

Our latest project, Tree-Sit: The Art of Resistance, is nearly
complete. To give this complex and historical ninety-minute feature the best possible chance of national and international exposure, we are organizing a tour/road show before the April completion. To help or to co-sponsor a screening, call (415) 820-1635. We want to reach people in all walks of life and take the film to communities close to environmental hot spots.

You can support us by ordering a special pre-release copy (late April mailing). Donations for these copies start at $30. All who donate $100 or more will be thanked in the credits as a co-sponsor (if you want). HAVC, P.O. Box 2198, Redway, CA 95560, or visit us online at www.treesit.org or www.havc.org.
