Video link. Underground video festival Channel 101 has had a lot of great shows over the years, but few have had the staying power or range of Everything. Shown above is Episode 2, and each ep has an interesting segment or three. If you're in LA and haven't been (or haven't been in a while), they've moved from Cinespace to The Downtown Independent. The 2010 Channy Awards are Saturday, December 4 at 8pm, so come root for your favorites. If you aren't in LA, this is a great weekend to check out all the weird and wonderful work that premiered in 2010. Maybe it will inspire you to make your own show!
