SF IndieFest trailer: "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher"
This documentary by David Di Sabatino is a part of the SF Indie Film Festival. What do you do when the Jesus freak who started your church dies from AIDS? Simple, erase him from history.
Lonnie Frisbee was a young hippie seeker fully immersed in the 1960s counterculture when he claimed to have experienced an encounter with God while on an acid trip. The event so transformed him that Lonnie became an itinerant Christian evangelist, something of a John the Baptist of Southern California who compelled thousands toward a profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
Fascinatingly, his call into Christian ministry came while deeply involved in the Laguna Beach homosexual scene. And because he died as a result of AIDS in 1993, he's been marginalized from history by the very men whom he helped establish with their evangelistic ministries.
Controversial throughout his life, the brief but dynamic career of evangelist Lonnie Frisbee is a powerful story of biblical proportions. "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher" captures the dramatic journey of this spiritual seeker turned Jesus freak who thousands remember as the agent through whom they experienced spiritual transformation.

The 404 remembers the King of Pop, Michael Jackson
In a very special, and very serious, episode of The 404, we sit down to reflect on the many ways Michael Jackson changed the world. From his music to his dance and music videos, MJ's ubiquity is undeniable. Heroes come and go, but legends never die! Rest in peace, Mike!
It is a look at life in a different way.

Onelinedrawing: "We Had a Deal"
As the driving force behind Onelindrawing, Jonah Matranga had spent years handcrafting his confessional pop songs-often recording them at home and selling his records on his website-until Jade Tree signed the 34-year-old songwriter as not only a solo act, but as the leader of the now defunct rock band New End Original. He had some chops, too, but it seemed just a bit off as his visions on love both lost and found sounded best in small basements, not huge arenas. Personal to the touch, it's not difficult to see why Matranga has ammassed a cult following that includes everyone from Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba to Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, playing his songs like they were touching letters he creased in small squares before passing them along to his adoring fans. Listen closely: the story of your life may be buried in the folds.

Communicating, through creativity, to society on different levels to spread the message of the way and the truth and the life. Love, faith, and hope. I would like to write a whole lot about this piece. But, I simply want the work to speak for itself. All I ask is that whoever gets to view this, watch it all the way through to the end. Thank you and Enjoy.
