Doniphan Blair
Publisher, Editor, and Ad Sales

Doniphan Blair started CineSource, the only film/vide arts and production journal north of Hollywood, in 2008, with the help of Roger Rose, Tony Reveau and David Hakim with whom he used to work on Film/Tape World. Although it remains dedicated to covering all of the region's diverse media communities, of late it has expanded to cover topics of interest all over. A filmmaker himself, Blair's latest film is the controversial documentary Our Holocaust Vacation about a survivor and her family’s return to Poland which has played 390 times on PBS since 2009. He has also published dozens articles from "Drug War Delerium," in SOMA Magazine, to "Interview with Bruno Lowenberg," in the Clinton St Quarterley, which won him a North-West Journalism Association Award. A graduate of SF Art Institute and 22 year-resident of West Oakland, he is dedicated to the bridging the class and color as well as artistic and commercial elements in film/video.

Don Schwartz
Writer and Blogger

Bay Area actor and writer Don Schwartz has been seen in a number of film roles during the last six years. He is a writer for CineSource magazine (and previously wrote for now-defunct Film/Tape World) on various topics of import to the local film community, including advocacy and personal profiles. Don has also been published in a variety of publications since 1977. Previously the director of The Trager Institute for 21 years, Don holds multiple degrees, including a PhD in psychology and counseling.

Currently a strong advocate for bringing film and TV production back to the Bay Area, Don is also a working member of the Scary Cow film cooperative, which develops widespread ‘mutual support’ for numerous projects by its members. Don is also busy promoting his two scripts, and hopes to produce one in the near future.

Don’s other interests include listening to (and sharing) a wide variety of music, taking care of his twin nieces, and promoting natural health and healing through research. He is a dedicated environmental activist, and an avid fan of aviation and space exploration. About six times a year, readers find Don in the editorial pages of the Pacific Sun, Marin County’s popular alternative weekly.
