La Calle Mission: Poetry & Visuals in Motion

Everyone's having fun with video. A relative of someone I know was involved in the creation and production of this amateur video about San Francisco's Mission District. Directed by Xaul Reyes, poem by Huracan Gomez.

While the quality is sketchy at times, remember that these guys don't have video experience and simply by playing around with basic video editing tools, they can throw Huracan's poem up on the web in no time without spending a fortune and give viewers a pretty realistic view of the lower Mission.
