Global Narratives

Through Global Narratives, I aim to increase dialogue on under-represented ideas and multicultural viewpoints through video and multimedia distribution of personal narratives.

News - Documentary Project

Thanks to the support of friends, family and donors, we are making finishing touches to A Perfect Donor. This 6-minute piece aims to encourage minority viewers to donate their bone marrow stem cells through a connection with a passionate and driven young woman living with leukemia. The short is intended for distribution online and through bone marrow drives and educational events.

We're grantwritiong for the feature documentary, which will bring more intimacy to the issue, affording the audience the time and space to experience, reflect on and absorb the deeper existential issues and transformative power of Erica's journey. With a broader audience, we hope to compel viewers to take action.

Donating stem cells is now a VERY easy process (looks like a blood donation) that can save the life of someone with leukemia! More here on the documentary>>

In order to complete the short, and to continue work on the full-length documentary, we need financial assistance. I ask for your support to raise funds for this important documentary project .

News - Global Lives Project

As Board Member of the Global Lives Project, I invite you to check out this exciting on-going volunteer-fueled global project. Global Lives documents 24 hours in the lives of people around the world, and immerses viewers in these varied lives through large-scale exhibits.

We've produced preview installations in 5 cities around the world, completed shoots Japan, Brazil, Malawi, the US, China, India and Indonesia, and involved more than 200 new volunteer collaborators in our work. We have ambitious plans for an additional three shoots this year in Asia and Europe, as well the official launch of our 10-screen installation at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2010. At the same time, we are working hard to release a new version of our website that will accept video submissions from around the world - an interactive video library of human life experience.

Our videos are being translated into multiple languages by volunteers. Visit the Translation page if you're fluent in 2 languages and would like to try a 15-minute clip!
