Importance Notice: "How to Build a 2.5K Soft Light Box for Under $250," September issue, StudentFilmmakers Magazine
In the September 2006 issue of StudentFilmmakers, we printed the article, "How to Build a 2.5K Soft Light Box for Under $250," (September Issue, page 13). It should be noted that the box is meant to be used on a generator with at least a 3000 watt capacity. By no means should the box be used in a house or an apartment because the circuits of a home or an apartment can not support a device which draws 2500 watts. We suggest that you should not attempt to build this box if you do not have a good understanding of electrical work safety.

"When the Mountains Moved" - A Documentary Covering the Extent of the American Humanitarian Assistance in Relief and Rehabilitation for Pakistan Earthquake Victims
The film explores the complex dynamics of negatively stereotyped perceptions and preconceived notions that Americans harbored toward Pakistanis, and in turn the mistrust that Pakistanis felt toward the Americans. After the tragic earthquake, Pakistanis and American aid workers interacted with each other forming relationships and bonds that threw preconceived perceptions out of the window. Ultimately, the film reveals the unifying elements that bind people together through a common agenda of humanity.
