 Greetings!
Welcome to our Newsletter. No one, so far, has asked us any questions so we have nothing to answer in this installment. Please, ask and we shall tell.
In the mean time, please join us at PWP in welcoming our newest staff member, Production Coodinator Abby Rogers. Abby is a wonderful new addition to our team and brings loads of experience and fabulous style to PWP. We are lucky to have her.

Michael Schweisheimer To Teach Video Communication Class
On May 15th, Michael will be teaching a class entitled Video Communication for Organizations about how nonprofits, as well as small and sustainable businesses, can use video most effectively. Postponed from an earlier date, this class will allow Michael to communicate a great deal of what he has learned in the last 10 years wearing the many hats that he does at PWP - Owner, Executive Producer, Director, etc. From how to find a video production company to how to create an RFP to the many pitfalls companies and organizations can fall into when they embark on creating a video, Michael will cover it all. Bring your questions and your insights. The classes will be held at the PWP offices at 6368 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA and those interested can sign up now at MALT (the Mount Airy Learning Tree) at the link below. Please join us and tell your friends!

Going Viral with PICPA
When the Pennsylvannia Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) came back to PWP with a desire to drive traffic to their " I Need A CPA.org" website and enhance their image, the PWP team knew just what to do - VIRAL VIDEOS! This set of 4 videos available on YouTube (see links below) pokes fun at modern culture through spoofs of TV shows, while the educated, trustworthy CPAs save the day. Watch, enjoy, and send them to your friends and accountants! | |
| FREE STUFF
At nearly 800 pages Shakey, a biography about Neil Young, is bible thick and even biblically epic, covering love, wars, death, and betrayal. And much like the Bible, the task of reading it, cover to cover, might seem to be for true devotees. But even the casual fan will be rewarded by the exciting and knowledgeable account of events in the life of an artist who has sneezed out a 40-year catalogue of money-making hits one week and self-indulgent experiments the next. Devotees, however, will marvel at the tremendous access author Jimmy McDonough had to the reclusive singer-songwriter. After giving McDonough authorization to write the book, Young, in a schizophrenic fashion we learn to be true to the artist, tried to stop its release. McDonough delves deep into Young's internal conflict and Janus-headed persona. One side is the tequila-fueled, play-whatever-the-hell-you-want guy, who released Tonight's the Night; it's the Young who pursued that great moment of inspiration within a raw-sounding performance, and not in high fidelity and over-dubbing. While another side is the micro-managing control freak behind the bizarre synthesizer and vocoder-laden Trans.

What's up at PWP?
Delivery of Green Careers: Sustainable Futures
In February, after over a year of hard work and dogged dedication, PWP deilvered our 4 DVD opus, Green Careers: Sustainable Futures. This award winning series of videos focuses on the evolving Green Economy and how young people can follow the correct career path(s) to become involved in it. Interviews with experts and those in various Green fields are supported by images featuring the variety of the locales in which these new careers take place. The PWP crew traveled from Seattle to San Francisco to Denver and even filmed right here in Philadelphia, meeting a cross-section of Americans making the planet a better place to live and work! |
We have expanded - in many ways! 
Primitive World Productions has expanded - from 800 square feet to 2500! New offices, a new larger conference room, and a real kitchen! Along with our larger digs, we have a new staff member: Production Coordinator, Abby Rogers. Abby's first day was our yearly Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service and she went right to work with the rest of us at Germantown Friends School (see photo above of Abby in action at GFS)! Our third MLK Day was a wonderful experience and we thank all of the people at GFS who let us contribute to their good work! | |
