"Dear Mayor Gavin Newsom: I am a psychiatric social worker at Citywide & Community Focus Center (SFGH/UCSF Dept. of Psychiatry) working with the homeless/chronically mentally ill population, many of whom are also addicted to substances. I recently started an Intermedia Arts Project at the clinic that brought together bay area artists/filmmakers with our consumers. Through this unique collaboration, we have produced 7 short videos and will be hosting our first annual Unheard Voices Digital Shorts Film Festival at the clinic on July 21, 2009. We want to welcome the mayor as this project may become a revolutionary way to doing social justice, art, and healthcare. We've already invited numerous health officials including the media. The event is scheduled for Tuesday July 21 at 10:00AM at 982 Mission Street, SF, CA 94103. Cross street is 6th Street. I'll be happy to attach our artist statement and press kit if you want. "
