Where can I watch last stop Larimer?
I'm new to this forum.
I am a member of "Downtown Denver Partnership" (DDP). Yesterday they took a community survey regarding improvements at last stop. The survey focused on last stops only. The focus groups used were "Bilingual speakers" and "Transit riders with disabilities". There are four possible fixes: 1. No change, 2. Remove the wall, 3. Add elevators, 4. Add escalators or elevators. Survey results show that over 20% were already waiting for transit due to lack of elevator access. Please help me by letting me know where I can watch the city decide which option they go with. I will also make an open letter to mayor john hickel, asking him to pick the solution that I think is best. Here's what a DDP newsletter has to say about this issue:
Larimer: Elevator Alternatives - Survey Results. Larimer's survey results showed two very interesting facts. First, many respondents were quite comfortable without escalators at our transit stop! Second, over 20% had difficulty boarding a light rail bus because they needed an elevator to get onto the bus because they couldn't see the door.
We believe that adding escalators would likely be extremely expensive. Our plan was to start with a trial on the first few stops and then build it in with all stops.2 million.
In response to those surveys, the project manager, Dave Dittmann from the Denver Office of Civic Engagement and Planning, suggested some ideas to meet the needs of those who don't feel comfortable riding a bus without an elevator while still allowing future access to light rail. In his response letter, he explained his thoughts on escalator alternatives. If you'd like to see that letter in its entirety, go here:
His suggestions are to: Add another floor, perhaps on the south side. Add a "newer" and thus more modern accessible bus, in addition to adding a second floor. Upgrade the bus. This included increasing seating capacity, providing additional hand holds, and providing the ability for a wheelchair or walker to enter the vehicle from the sidewalk.
Is The Last Stop a documentary?
You're watching a film about a guy who was once a member of The Jesus Lizard but then made something like four solo albums and started his own band.
Is this a documentary? Are you looking at a performance? Does it matter? I'll admit that, to a certain extent, I'm still trying to process what the Last Stop's last show means. It came out of nowhere, it was recorded just days before the actual event, and it's hard to figure out what it means or if it even makes sense, but the fact that some sort of show had to happen feels weirdly comforting somehow. If the Last Stop happened in the world as it actually is, there wouldn't be much of a show: people who were interested in seeing the show would see it, and people who weren't would just be left with a vague sense that the Last Stop once existed. That is the Last Stop.
But then it was really over. When an artist's work has finally run its course, when a band's run-out-of-things-to-say period has run its course, you kind of want someone to say, Now that we've run out of stuff to do, let's watch these guys play really loud. You want to go to the Last Stop and stand in a lineup with a bunch of people who were standing around a year ago. You don't want to go because of some sort of idea that the Last Stop is supposed to be a performance, or a movie, or a set of talking-head interviews. You want to go because the Last Stop is whatever the Last Stop is, and that's good enough.
In fairness to the folks who were there, though, they were only making their statement as loud as possible, in the most obvious way. You could hardly miss the fact that The Last Stop was, in fact, The Last Stop. I think it all works out in the end, though, because I'm pretty sure that if we hadn't gotten to see this, some random band would have just started playing loud music on some unknown street corner.
Is Last Stop Larrimah a documentary?
Last Stop Larrimah is a new film produced and directed by Paul Middleditch and Chris Hocking, and funded by the Screen Australia Foundation.
It's based on the idea of a film which is about the last day in an Aboriginal boy's life. The film follows Ben from his early childhood to his death in the Alice Springs Hospital, which was his home for almost all of his short life. He was born at Riverview Hospital and died there just three days short of his fourth birthday.
Ben was suffering from a complex set of medical problems and was dying. His parents were advised to not to keep him alive through life support, but he lived just one more day.
The filmmakers visited Ben's family several times, and were also present in the hospital on the day of Ben's death. During this time, they observed that it is often difficult to get Indigenous people to talk about their stories, especially where their family are concerned. It was clear to the filmmakers that Ben's parents had a sense of loss and betrayal when they found out that the staff did not want him to live. They were told by hospital staff that Ben had died before birth and so they could not be contacted.
The film follows Ben's family as they struggle to accept their son's death and try to understand why he died and how his death affects them. Ben's mother is a strong woman who is used to taking care of her family. She speaks of her son with such pride and love that she struggles to be around other people. His father is grieving - he feels abandoned and betrayed by the system. He lost his son, and now the same system has taken his daughter.
Ben's family struggled with feelings of grief, anger, loss and guilt. This is a film that is full of strong emotions, including anger and frustration. The film-makers were lucky enough to witness some powerful scenes between Ben's parents. At times the scene was raw, at others moving and sad. There was a powerful moment when his father explained the loss of Ben in his own words - in great detail.
The film explores many different themes. We see Ben as a baby being fed. We see Ben as a child in the outback - a boy living in the outback.
Is Last Stop Larimer a true story?
A review of the movie Last Stop Larimer by director/cinematographer/writer Paul E.
Seger comes courtesy of writer Scott Sowards (The New World), who is writing his way through the film at this very moment, on location in Denver and in his kitchen back in Atlanta.
I can't wait to see the movie. I want to see what the characters have to say to each other. What they think of their journey. What they think of each other. How do they view themselves?
This has been an important question for the last year, while I've worked as the publicist on the film, or PR director, or whatever it is that you call what I do. I started with the idea that were making a movie about the people involved in a fatal bus crash in Denver in 1998. I spent about 18 months thinking about this idea and working to realize it, so when we began filming there were a lot of questions that needed to be asked, answered, explored.
I think that there's something about making a movie about a real event - even when it's fictionalized - that makes all the actors and crew feel like they're part of the story. The entire crew was on set. We talked to everyone. I talked to the people whose families were killed in that terrible crash. I talked to their loved ones. I talked to the families of the people who survived, and to the families of those who didn't.
I think that there is something very human about taking an event and making it into a movie. I didn't get to see it onscreen until now, but I'm sure the movie does more than justice the real tragedy.
There are many ways to answer that question, since one person's perspective will be vastly different from another. But if there is one thing that everybody can agree on is that it was a huge part of the history of this city, and it's still a difficult thing to talk about, almost 20 years later.
The film's official website is at www.laststoplarimer.com, and there's a website I co-run with Kevin Smith called I'm Dying Up Here. You can learn more about the film on both those sites.
