Paper Tiger Collective Members being serious
Being funny

Rebecca Centeno
Rebecca is from Texas where there's rocks, trees, and belt buckles. She's currently working on a film about a man who races pigeons. She likes documentaries (all kinds), warm weather, and riding her bike.

Mike N.
Mike is an artist. He believes everyone is an artist. He works as a graphic designer, and he likes spicy food.

Adrienne Silverman
Adrienne joined Paper Tiger in July. She is into video editing and duplication. She likes funky, artsy videos. She currently attends graduate school at the New School for media studies. She is an acquarius and loves sunshine and rainbows. She currently resides in Brooklyn, where she is from.

Erin Smith
Erin suffers from acute wanderlust and unbridled curiosity. She believes strongly in Joan Didion, Arthur Russell and dyeing her hair in contrasting tones. Originally from Yucaipa, California, Erin is currently interested in androgyny, quantum physics, and aural mirages. In the future Erin might be an English teacher, will always be a writer and will definitely be the owner of a sandwich shop where hungry men from Capri will feast on eggplant and mozzarella paninis.

Adda Birnir
Adda hails from Iceland via the Golden State and recently discovered through an online personality test that she is an ENFP (Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Perception). Adda holds no institution in higher esteem than the New York Public Library and has vowed to donate whatever she might have as an estate, post-mortem, to its preservation. The forefront of Adda's mind is a fecund wonderland that nurtures thoughts on Jehovah's Witnesses, the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay, computer programming (to be honest), and making the slow-food nation people stop eating their bougie organic food and start worrying about solving world hunger.

Sara Strahan
Sara Strahan, a self-identified Libra and UC Santa Cruz graduate, originally hails from the Windy City (that?s Chicago) by the whirlwind way of Japan; she now resides in New York where she is a New School graduate student in Media Studies. She is an avid supporter of community and youth media; as a collective member of Paper Tiger, she would like to continue making critical, non-commercial media in fun, thoughtful ways. Sara enjoys swimming and strongly recommends Red Hook Pool as a sweet swimming spot. In addition to swimming, Sara also greatly enjoys karaoke; she currently ranks ?Total Eclipse of the Heart? and ?You?re So Vain? as her top two favorite performing songs.

Maria Juliana Byck
Maria Juliana Byck has been a member of PTTV since 2004. She is currently working on the PTTV history project, a documentary about the 25-year history of PTTV including interviews, archival footage and funky fun creative video shorts. After college she lived abroad for 5 years, traveling in Asia, Africa, South American and Europe. Maria is currently a student in the Media Studies Masters program at the New School and works in experimental video, enjoys biking, sewing, painting, swimming, traveling and dancing.

Barbara Ophoff
Barbara is a filmmaker from Berlin moved two years ago to New York and joined Paper Tiger. Since then she is an active member of the collective. She worked on the Right to the City documentary and is now part of the team working on the Public Spaces show. She has her roots in the grassroots media movement in Europe and believes that through collective work another (media) world is possible.

Patricia González Ramírez
Patricia moved to New York 5 years ago and since then has developed a commitment to social & economic justice. She graduated from the New School, where she studied Culture and Media. Outside of tiger-time she works as a media-maker and educator in a community center, and volunteers as an interpreter and translator. She is an Aquarius with an Aquarius rising and has a simian line on her right hand.

Luhuna Carvalho
Luhuna (unfortunately not in the picture) comes from Lisbon. He joined Paper Tiger in hopes of gathering members for the nomad neo-animist bandito commune he is forming which will reinstate a psychedelic comancheria between New Mexico and Texas. When not plotting what to do after the coming apocalypse he likes to watch squirrels play around and "Jersey Shore". He also loves KnickKnacking Puffy Puffs.
