Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

It takes a village of tiny, tilt-shift, ant people to raise a music festival. Directed, shot, cut and finished by Sam O'Hare, this new video is a happy reminder on a dreary Wednesday that the sun will in fact shine again. At Coachella.

O'Hare states, "I wanted to portray a unique view of the incomparable Coachella experience. Following the crowds in the sunshine from arrival, camping, exploring the art in the arena, all the way through to the headliners at night, this film brings a miniature feel to this huge festival."

Click here for more information about how this film was made. The next Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been announced forApril 15,16, and 17, 2011.
