2012
American Film Showcase with
Connected screening

We
launch "Worldwide Host Your Own Screening Tour"
&
Our New Free Mobile Phone App
I've
been thinking about the African philosophy "Ubuntu" meaning:
"I
am what I am because of who we all are."
This idea is resonating so
deeply for me today:) I'm en route to Cape Town, South Africa, where The U.S.
State Department & USC is sending our film Connected to
kick off The 2012 American Film Showcase at The Encounters Film Fesitval, with
screenings, panel discussions, and workshops on the theme of connectivity.
We're so honored to be part of the Showcase, which brings select films
from the last decade to embassies around the world to, as Secretary Clinton
stated, "bring people together and foster greater understanding."
WORLDWIDE HOST YOUR OWN
SCREENING TOUR:
We're celebrating this event by
launching our "Worldwide Host Your Own Screening Tour,"
which will give companies, organizations, schools, and community centers
around the world the opportunity to host a screening
or fundraiser with Connected.
These days, everyone seems to
be moving so quickly. We've found that these screening events allow
communities and organizations the time to have meaningful conversations
about the good, the bad and the potential of all this connectivity... both
personally and globally.
Our team at The Moxie Institute
provides all the ingredients needed to host a successful event (learn more here), including the DVD or
Blu-Ray, hands-on discussion materials to engage deeper in the topics raised in
the film, and our new! interactive mobile app (free for iPhone
today and soon on Android).
BE PART OF OUR NEXT FILM:
And lastly, please take a few
minutes to participate in our new short "Cloud Film," about
the importance of engaging in society. You can watch our call for entries here. Deadline
is July 1st:)
To Ubuntu,
- Tiffany, Ken, Sawyer, Haley,
Jesse, Simone, Toni & Grace
