I blurred my signature because it hasn’t much changed. The PO Box, the account, the bank: long gone. ISTR I had a Working Assets long distance phone plan, too, for my landline.

¹ we’ll get to the one exception.

People’ve deleted my posts elsewhere on this topic, blocked my account. All along, those in a position to address the issue¹ have resorted to hand-wringing & “oh, that’s a shame”.
Doubters: my check.

This former Board Member/President, program note compiler/author, monograph co-author, occasional curator & fundraiser, says: time for callous treatment of individual donors to come home to roost.

No invitations to “special members events” ever. Naturally, social media delivers member party photos to me after the fact.

No publications since 2002. No printed calendars since 2009. No free admission since the mid-2000s.

In 1993 I gave #sfcinematheque $1500 ($3312 in 2025 dollars according to NerdWallet) to be a #lifetimemember. #StevePolta denied my annual publications benefit starting 2002 & eventually whittled all promised benefits to zero.

My experimental short film «VOID.exe» has been selected as a Semi-Finalist at the IndieX Film Fest in Los Angeles (June 2025)!
This 10-minute piece challenges cinematic convention:
No image. No sound. No return.
A black screen. Silence. Emptiness as experience.
Proud to see this radical vision recognized.
— Film by Kostiantyn Mishchenko
