  3. The Signal, airdate 05.07.10

    In this episode of The Signal…

    Signal contributor Geoff Brown shares the story of a mysterious flier about a dog, and the series of fortuitous circumstances and amazing coincidences that turned it into an underground Internet sensation.

    We recognize Mother’s Day with two stories about moms – their power to inspire us, and our power to inspire them. Mary Rose Madden tells about carrying on her mom’s culinary flair, and Helen Schafer shares what she’s learned about life from her autistic son, Hayden.

    And we meet scientist-turned-filmmaker Miguel Sabogal, who’s just been named the 2010 CAmm Fellow at the Creative Alliance. In this age of digital production, Sabogal still shoots on good old-fashioned 16mm film, and his work blends experimental techniques with traditional narrative structure.
