(We know this is old news, but it's content is timeless)
Video "What do you do?" Written/produced/directed by Bill Hendricks
Judges' comments: This video exemplifies the power of a simple message. It took much forethought to make it appear so simple. There's not even an extra word. Clear and sophisticated delivery. The moment you thought you knew where it was taking you, they hit you with the zinger. "Jim would have loved it."
Click on the following link to see the video written, directed and produced by faculty member Bill Hendricks starring many of our colleagues playing themselves. It was a powerful statement during our recent contract negotiations. It was awarded the Jim Herndon Award at the California Federation of Teachers Convention in Oakland last week. This top award honors the local communication that best represents the "Spirit of the Federation," conveys the importance of unionism in the field of education and is an outstanding creative effort. Congratulations and our thanks again to Bill Hendricks and all the faculty who participated in the making of the great video!
