"The theme of this year's conference is "Sharing our tools; refusing the
master's." We wanted to be clear that this is about working together to
find better ways to produce and distribute our message, and not about
trying to get that message into the corporate media or get a Hollywood
movie deal."
Jason Kucsma, conference organizer
