This week, the pilot episode of Working Title, a collaboration between KQED and Little Paper Planes, hosted by Kelly Lynn Jones of LPP and Andrew Martin Scott, co-owner of Needles and Pens, debuted online. 

The Working Title series will explore how local artist entrepreneurs are creating alternative economies in the Bay Area. In episode one, the program shows a lot of potential. It's highly conversational with the conversation wandering in fruitful directions (the high cost of living in SF for artists). Surfer/treehouse designer Jay Nelson is an engaging character. It also has some regional flavor, not just in Nelson's surfing lifestyle, but in the idealist, dare-to-dream attitude of all the participants. It is San Francisco, evidently, not Portland where one can work as a full-time treehouse builder.
