Take back your TV

There's a (fairly) new television station on your local cable provider. Google Current is a channel of independent featurettes and mini-docs that are created by regular everyday people trying to make a living in the harsh world of television and film production. Although the channel is a little rough around the edges, it can be a lot of fun to watch. It's sorta like watching the early MTV or Comedy Central and getting excited about what a great thing it might eventually become. You can even submit your own project, and if it gets aired they pay you in real currency. Amazing. Who wants to travel to Peru with me to shoot a mini-doc about the plight of South American waterfowl?
