Project:Filmbox
Andreas Groke - 11/16/2011
Sending cameras around the world to everyone who wants to be part of an international film project to create a film from a lot of people in different places around the world is probably one of the best ideas this year. Project: Filmbox is doing exactly that. Since November students and creative people from all over the world can become part in producing a film that is reflecting a new spirit among young people by sending in their film clips. Everyone feels connected to each other somehow and that international feeling of unity is what the final film of this project is going to be all about.

Occupy Wall Street Visited

Last Saturday while in New York City I went downtown to visit the Occupy Wall Street group and also ended up walking in their protest march around big bank buildings. A terrific experience with a huge group chanting things like “Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!”
