Hi everyone I urge you to pay attention to what's going on in Iran right now.

Check out the Iran Election section of this page, the videos speak for themselves.

For info beyond that see Twitter's #iranelection section (copy and paste into your browser):

Just pay attention and the rest will follow.

Thanks,

About This Page:

My name's Anita Wirawan and I live in Anchorage, Alaska. I started making videos a couple of years ago after I got a camera for Christmas and started filming everything in sight.

It turns out that I like editing videos a lot more than filming them, mostly because I'm really really shy :). I still do both though and try to post as often as possible.

Most of the videos on this page were originally meant for an entry in one of my blogs but each has taken on a life of their own here on YouTube. Good/bad it's always interesting to hear people's reactions to a video and I appreciate every comment and email. Thanks for watching and I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

-Anita

2. Why do you post so many Indigo Girls videos?

Because they are awesome. That is all.


3. What is Relay For Life?

It's a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. My wife works for a company that does a lot of fundraising for them and I usually document a couple of those events a year. Some of these videos are unavailable right now due to copyright issues with WMG.


4. What program do you use to make videos?

I use the now old-school Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.


5. What's it like living in Alaska?

Alaska is beautiful and amazing. I love living in the heart of a big city but still being able to drive to the middle of nowhere in a couple of hours. There's nothing like spending your weekends camping/hiking in the kind of wilderness that most people only see in movies. I lived in a lot of different places when I was younger but nothing felt like home until I came to Alaska.

The downside is that there isn't as much diversity here as in other places. When I am out with my wife people can get a little cross-eyed when they realize that we are two women who are in love with each other. Or they will stare like they're expecting something. Who knows what they're expecting but they're no doubt disappointed when they realize we're just picking out groceries because you know, we're in a grocery store.

But overall living here is great. I really enjoy travelling and visiting other places but no matter how nice it is I always look forward to coming home :).
