He is also the former associate director of the first gender violence prevention program in the United States Marine Corps. Hurt was the recipient of the prestigious echoing green public service fellowship in 1999, an award given to ambitious young activists devoted to creating social change in their communities. Over the past decade, Hurt has lectured at more than 100 college campuses and trained thousands of young men and women on issues related to gender, race, sex, violence, music and visual media.

Her editing debut garnered an Emmy for WGBH's Greater Boston Arts series. She has worked in both producing and editing capacities on numerous award-winning documentaries for public television and cable and also collaborates with non-profit organizations to create video programs. Most recently, she worked with Witness, an organization founded by Peter Gabriel that trains activists around the world to use video as a tool for social change. Gordon is also the Producer and Director of 180 Days, a documentary about the NYC Teaching Fellows Program, and Roughstars, a profile of the band at the forefront of the “rock and bounce” music scene in New York City.

Wots gud Byron...
I gotto give you props for your documentary 'Beyond Beats And Rhymes'...your analysis was deeeep!!! The film as a whole inspired me as hip hoppa, a black man within the 'Black Atlantic' and as a film maker...I've just finished my film-making debut, 'On The Grind: A Glimpse Into The Life Of An Unsigned Artist' (volume one).
Photobucket..
The film is the first in a series of documentaries that depict an intimate insight into the underground UK hip hop scene. Throughout the series each film focuses on a different artistic individual. The series attempts to convey a unique perspective into how these artists attempt to fulfill their aspirations in regards to breaking into the commercial record industry. This is a fresh and innovative film that offers an opportunity to gain an exclusive insight into the up and coming Lyricist G-Range. This film is a first of many so I hope you enjoy. Feedback is welcome. 1ne Luv.

you can view the debut on my-space (myspace. com/fnics) or for better picture quality check:
