[awahl...@verizon.net]

Greetings from the resistance!

 

This is the first post to the "news & updates" list for the upcoming film "The Association," which is appropriate because I'm announcing my first public interview about the film.  It happened last Saturday on WEBR Fairfax, Virginia.  The half-hour broadcast is archived on the website http://www.onthecommons.com.  I was interviewed about the project by Shu Bartholomew, and had a lot of fun talking about my perspective on the future film, the inspiration for it, among other topics about

On The Commons is a weekly radio show dedicated to discussing the many issues surrounding mandatory homeowner associations, the fastest growing form of residential housing in the nation. 

 

Large or small, lavish or humble, opulent or plain, home is a private place. It is a place to heal, to celebrate, to nurture a family.  It is a place that reflects who we are.  It is a place to call ours.  At least it used to be.  Nowadays, with so many laws, rules and restrictions imposed on where we live and how we live, homes have become "dwelling units" and the occupants little more than care takers.  Can anything be done to restore a sense of "home" to these spaces? 

 

On The Commons with us this week is Andrew Wahlquist.  Andrew wrote a screen play and is making a movie about associations called "The Association".  www.associationmovie.com He has been working in Hollywood as a writer and in the film business and this is his first venture into producing a movie.  He chose to bring some of the issues we deal with to the forefront on the silver screen.  We'll talk to him and find out what his inspiration was and where he plans to take his career from here.

 

At the bottom of the hour we will be joined by David Shapiro.  David and a group of his fellow citizens formed a non profit organization called "Citizens for Pets in Condos" www.petsincondos.org and have been working hard to take back some control over their "dwelling units".  We'll talk about what they are doing, where they are headed and how they intend to get there.  Please join us On The Commons this Saturday, January 27, 2007.  We'll be talking about how to highlight the issues and what we can do so we get to go "home" at the end of the day instead of heading to some dreaded "dwelling unit".
