Mediarights.org Features RFF Mentor Annie Sundberg’s “Devil”

Each month MediaRights.org (part of Cinereach sister organization Arts Engine) selects a video clip from a social-issue piece of media and presents it to visitors to watch, comment-on and forward to peers. This new staple of their site, called 90-Second Cinema, will feature Clips that are no longer than ninety seconds and, for each one, highlight how a creative or artful approach was employed to tell a story with impact. 90-Second Cinema is a quick and instructive way to collect tips on the art and craft of socially relevant storytelling.

This month, the site features a clip from The Devil Came on Horseback, and notes how several different types of source material were used in one sequence to powerful effect. Annie Sundberg (who made the film along with Ricki Stern) is a mentor of RFF 2010 Fellow Nadia Hallgren and has been advising Nadia on the craft of socially relevant storytelling as it relates to Nadia’s film, Love Lockdown.
