Small world it is...Desert Sun's feature story is about filmmaker Lise Swenson. Just who is Lise Swenson and why is she filming a movie set on the Salton Sea?
Swenson lives in San Francisco and has been a professor there for a number of years. In fact, I had her for a video production class in the 1990s. Her teaching style is one that focuses on getting her students deeply involved in the projects or production roles that they choose, either in her films or their own.
Today, Swenson has recruited a number of her college students in San Francisco to assist in making the film taking jobs ranging from actors to videographers in a film about a woman whose life is compared to the barren political hot potato known as the Salton Sea, which is about 50 miles southeast of Palm Springs.
Imagine Salton Sea's history from a body of water produced from by accident from water in the Colorado River to the its dubious state today, one of California's most debatable environmental issues used as a metaphor for a woman's life.
Could be fascinating.
