Deadline Every Second: On Assignment with 12 AP Photographers

alt text

If you still love news photos that don’t contain a Kardashian, then you’ll love Deadline Every Second. This new documentary follows 12 top Associated Press photographers as they tackle riveting assignments – real news stories – around the globe.

As the world’s largest news picture agency, the AP sends out 3,000 still pictures every day to newspapers, magazines and websites – more than a million pictures a year. And more than a billion of us see those photos as they’re published.

Ever wondered how they do it?

Deadline Every Second documents the documenting, following the photogs as they gather the breaking stories – from 9/11 and clashes in the West Bank to marriage equality demonstrations and the Tour de France. This film will change how you look at news images, especially those that bear the credit AP Photo.

I love the documentary (and its producers Ken Kobré and John Hewitt) so much that I’m helping secure venues for showing the film and handling all the PR. The AP loves the film too, having given Ken unprecedented access to their photographers.

Here’s the three-minute trailer:

Ken and John are San Francisco State University professors who simply want to remind the world of how hard still photographers work to capture the images that we’ll never forget. Ken’s famous textbook, Photojournalism: the Professionals’ Approach, is widely used in classrooms around the world. Ken and John have trained hundreds of award-winning photo- and videojournalists, including, of course, plenty for the AP.

Keep up with our good news on our Facebook page. And, you can buy the DVD online! Just in time for the holidays!

Have ideas for other fabulous venues? Send me an email! Maybe we need to show it at the River’s Edge Film Festival next summer?
