One Day On Earth, an exciting endeavor to document and convey the human experience all over the world. My focus is going to be on connections and emotions as told by our hands. I’ll be filming inter-generational hands holding, brushing hair, baking, working the earth, driving, etc. If you are in the neighborhood and would like to participate, LMK. The more hands the merrier, and the richer the resulting film.
From their website:
On November 11th, 11.11.11, across the planet, documentary filmmakers, students, and other inspired citizens will record the human experience over a 24-hour period and contribute their voice to the second annual global day of media creation called One Day on Earth. Together, we will create a shared archive and a film.
Founded in 2008, One Day on Earth’s first media creation event occurred on 10.10.10. The collaboration was the first ever simultaneous filming event occuring in every country of the world. It created a unique geo-tagged video archive as well as an upcoming feature film.
Together, we are showcasing the amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occurs in one day. We invite you to join our international community of thousands of filmmakers, hundreds of schools, and dozens of non-profits, and contribute to this unique global mosaic. One Day on Earth is a community that not only watches, but participates.
