I borrowed this slogan from my friend Sue’s blog Suzemuze. It really defines Social Media for me and is a great description of those who have been embracing our project and sharing With Glowing Hearts with their friends and followers.
Our Press section is growing daily thanks to folks like Dave Olson, who has been spreading the word about our film. Dave has many projects on the web including his blog filled with ‘nuggets, noticed or observed’.
There was a great piece done by DOXA Blogger Mike Browne. They run a documentary film festival in Vancouver comprised of public screenings, workshops, panel discussions and public forums. They had a really cool fundraiser last year where they auction off ‘celebrity cameras’. I was lucky enough to win the bid for my favorite filmmaker’s camera, Denys Arcand!
Gillian Shaw over at the Vancouver Sun, Bob Mackin at 24hr and Stephen Hui of the Georgia Straight have also been telling the world about us. They are all doing some interesting work blending traditional media and new media so I suggest checking them out.
Frances MacKinnon at Youth films International where they are giving students an introduction to the real-life documentary experience from concept through completion, had some kind words for us in a post about ‘Social Change’.
At NorthGeek.com they’re ” just a bunch of dudes who love to talk about tech. All this geeky stuff really excites us, so we want to share it with you: THE WORLD.” They have a cool post about the new Google ‘Snowview’.
I have learned much from my 1st year participating in new media and am excited about the new discoveries and the new people I have connected with.
Thanks to all and continue to create, share and be brilliant!
Andrew
