It's Monday Thursday, which means it's time for another episode of the CCLaP Podcast. Today: A 20-minute talk with Jason Stephens, founder of Chicago film organization Split Pillow, a group that not only helps underground filmmakers finish and distribute their movies, but also runs an ongoing outreach and education program through the city's school system. Conducted from a recent fundraiser for the group, at a stunning rooftop condo overlooking the Loop's Millennium Park. Also featuring the music of Creative Commons recording artists Aesop Rock and Laura Veirs. Don't forget, if you download the MP4 version (linked to below) and listen to it through iTunes, an iPod or an iPhone, you'll have access to chapters and images as well!
