Fall In Love With America - Again.
I’m working on my latest project – ‘Fall In Love With America – Again’ – an innovative, timely and important new documentary style web and mobile based multimedia series highlighting stories from across America – stories from big cities, small towns, communities, neighborhoods, streets, homes, rooms… It’s all about what we think America is, who American’s are, how we see ourselves, and how we welcome the world to our home.
I’m the co-executive producer of the project, working with the talented Amber Roniger and Dennis Gelbaum.
The ‘Fall In Love With America – Again’ project is an expression of freedom, of creativity, inspiration and love of country. It is a declaration of the best of America by the people and for the people. I am certain that this campaign and project with its positive message and novel point of view, will create a halo effect around everyone involved.
I’m so excited about what this project means that I contacted the White House and in her letter back to me, Michelle Obama stated “We are at a critical moment in our Nation’s history, and we need an allhands-on-deck approach to solve the problems that we face. Thank you for daring to innovate, for dreaming big, and for finding ways to create a better tomorrow. America needs your hands, your hearts, and your hard work now more than ever.”
And I’m counting down. The ‘Fall In Love With America – Again’ project will start September 11th, 2010 with the launch of interactive websites, social networks, video and audio channels and the project will continue through the kick off of the national, interactive and multimedia touring exhibit on September 11th, 2011. The ‘Fall In Love With America – Again’ project includes live webcam updates, producing a feature length documentary film, broadcast series and special, live events, touring exhibit, multimedia content produced by the project’s A/V production team and submitted by folks all across America. The project will also include a series of contests and unique promotions – looking for the next great American song, video, photograph, illustration, short story, poem, chef, fashion designer, teacher, business leader, volunteer, local heroes and more.
“The ‘Fall In Love With America – Again’ project is about connecting and re-connecting, using all media to tell stories that will have everyone fall in love with America, again! Check out this article, it is exactly what I am talking about… [silive.com]
