This worthy project is intended to help provide a spotlight on the issue of the death penalty on the thirtieth anniversary of its re-instatement in the United States (2006). We are working hard to create a program which will bring home to the American public the need to re-envision the administrations support of this unnecessary form of genocide. I will be designing a music video of Steve Earle's song "Ellis Unit One" as the show opening, and am in need of photos, images, archive materials of all kinds relating to inmates, death row, and forms of execution, families and news material to fulfill this endeavor. Dr. Rick Halperin PhD has gratefully agreed to assist me in the effort of assembling material for possible insertion into this music video as well as a gallery of images intended to be designed into a "Special Feature" included in the DVD. I am therefore requesting your submission (Pro Bono) of materials you may have or have access to for consideration of insertion into these segments of the program. Dr Halperin will act as liaison on our behalf (#214-768-3284). Please contact him directly and you can email me at [email protected] , as well as see the press release at www.alanamesandassociates.com . If you have materials on CD-ROM, DVD, or other digital-video formats, I will be able to transfer them for usage. We will give credit for all persons and materials selected for inclusion into the program. Please feel free to contact me directly via the email above, or via phone at # 713-627-0145.
