The use of \u201cworld\u201d in the title obviously refers to Fuller\u2019s global perspective and his contention that we now need a systems approach that deals with the world as a whole, and not a piece meal approach that tackles our problems in what he called a \u201clocal focus hocus pocus\u201d manner.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Topics include&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Prototyping the future&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; tapping technology to tell 21st Century stories&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Story Architecture&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; a primer on how to tell immersive stories that move beyond a single screen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Measuring Engagement&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; a look at current and emerging ways to measure success&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Experiential learning&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; where storytelling, collaboration, and technology combine to ignite the imaginations of students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Transmedia and Activism&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; using storytelling to mobilize and effect social change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Collaborative Writing&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; tapping a collaborative process to unlock richer storytelling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Building Value &lt;/em&gt;- a look at collaborating with those formally known as the audience&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What are you working on and what do you need?&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; attendees can take the mic and share what they are working on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Your Digital Footprint&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; a look at the realities of data in the 21st Century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Digital Literacy&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; a look at how to bridge the digital divide. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Open Design&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those who attend DIY DAYS will be given a unique opportunity to build a collaborative storyworld. The storyworld and the prototyping that is done throughout the day will be released under a creative commons license as well as being prepared as an experiential learning kit. This will be accomplished through a number of special collaborative exercises.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wish for the Future&lt;/strong&gt; &#8211; the second chapter in a participatory storytelling trilogy, &lt;em&gt;Wish for the Future&lt;/em&gt; will provide attendees of DIY DAYS an opportunity to experience an open design process. From collaborative writing, to experience design, to rapid prototyping exercises &#8211; attendees will be able to step into an open design process that invites the imagination of many.       &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;World Game&lt;/strong&gt; &#8211; join the Buckminster Fuller Institute as they run a number of World Game simulations. In the 1960&#8217;s Buckminster Fuller proposed a &#8220;great logistics game&#8221; and &#8220;world peace game&#8221; (later shortened to simply, the &#8220;World Game&#8221;) that was intended to be a tool that would facilitate a comprehensive, anticipatory, design science approach to the problems of the world. The use of &#8220;world&#8221; in the title obviously refers to Fuller&#8217;s global perspective and his contention that we now need a systems approach that deals with the world as a whole, and not a piece meal approach that tackles our problems in what he called a &#8220;local focus hocus pocus&#8221; manner. The entire world is now the relevant unit of analysis, not the city, state or nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://bfi.org/about-bucky/buckys-big-ideas/world-game"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time Machine Rooms&lt;/strong&gt; &#8211; a collaboration with Story Pirates will enable a co-created storyworld that is lead by the imagination of elementary school children. The students will represent a voice from the future as well as prototyping a number of inventions from the future. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Writer&#8217;s Room&lt;/strong&gt; &#8211; a writer&#8217;s room works throughout the day taking in variables from attendees that will impact the creation of an open storyworld that will fuel the end of the day performance.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rapid Prototyping Room&lt;/strong&gt; a partnership between Parsons and the Makerbot community will power a rapid prototyping room for those who attend DIY DAYS enabling them to turn ideas about the future into something tangible. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Occupy&lt;/strong&gt; &#8211; step into an open design process around an official OWS conflict resolution application. From paper testing to conflict resolution role playing, participants will be invited into a collaborative design process. &lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;The Blender E-store still is the main income source for Blender  Foundation, allowing to organize projects in Blender Institute and to  hire people for work on Blender (currently 3 developers and myself full-time).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Customers expect from a modern internet store&#160;more services than we provided until now though; especially doing faster and more often shipments. To achieve this, we need to expand our product catalog to get a bit higher volumes per shipment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Per January 1st 2012 we now rent a second small office and storage  in the south of Netherlands (Budel) where our shop manager Anja  Vugts-Verstappen will be handling the orders, shipping and daily shop  support. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Summarized, changes will be:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Shipping at least 3 times per week (monday, wednesday, friday)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;More choice in shipping speed (courier, or free shipping, T.B.A.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Shop open for third party DVD training, we added BlenderCookie titles now.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/default_dvds.php"&gt;http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/default_dvds.php&lt;/a&gt;

All of it\u2019s designed for any smart creative freelancer, startup or telecommuter who wants to have a place to get their work done while networking with other like-minded people.

<description>&lt;p&gt;New York-based creative professionals take note! Odds are, you&#8217;re familiar with 3rd Ward, the massive workspace in Bushwick full of all sorts of resources, supplies and classes for any creative project that interests you, from woodworking to filmmaking. And if not I just told you the gist of it, so there you go. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But aside from being a great place to learn, create, and promote all sorts of great DIY projects, their newest edition now also makes it a great place to work. Dubbed a &#8220;coworking space,&#8221; it&#8217;s a modern, bright, airy office designed for collaborating as well as solo work, full of shared desks, personal workstations, conference rooms, plenty of brand new iMacs, free wifi and printing, and of course, free coffee. All of it&#8217;s designed for any smart creative freelancer, startup or telecommuter who wants to have a place to get their work done while networking with other like-minded people. You can even meet clients and have business mail delivered there. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the heart of all of this, though, is collaboration. The nice thing about 3rd Ward is that it provides the perfect environment for creativity: step inside and you&#8217;re surrounded by people in all sorts of different crafts from all sorts of different backgrounds, and everyone has ideas flowing. A graphic designer may not realize they can get inspiration from a welder until it happens, and these sorts of things happen all the time at 3rd Ward. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And of course, we wouldn&#8217;t recommend anything unless we&#8217;ve seen and experienced it ourselves; 3rd Ward has given Workbook Project a space to shoot at least one RADAR episode, and we also partnered with them for Inside Design as well. &lt;/p&gt;

<soup:attributes>{"tags":["Featured","audience","crowdfunding"],"type":"regular","title":"\u003Ca href=\"http://workbookproject.com/newbreed/2011/09/20/man-child/\"\u003EMan-Child the passion behind the story\u003C/a\u003E","source":"http://workbookproject.com/newbreed/2011/09/20/man-child/","body":"\u003Cp\u003EThe following is a guest post by Koo.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI\u2019m currently crowdfunding my first feature film, and rather than pitch it to you, I\u2019ll first share this \u201cmultimedia lookbook\u201d that I put together. My project, a youth basketball feature entitled\u003Cem\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ryanbkoo/man-child-feature-film\"\u003E Man-child\u003C/a\u003E,\u003C/em\u003E is participating at Independent Film Week in New York this week and I assembled this clip to help producers understand what I\u2019m going for aesthetically with the film. It\u2019s just a combination of clips from other films paired with a voiceover, but it should give you some idea of what I\u2019ll be going for:\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOkay, so how did I arrive at this point and why am I making this movie?\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter co-directing the \u201curban western\u201d web series \u003Cem\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http://thewestside.tv/\"\u003EThe West Side\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/em\u003E with \u003Ca href=\"http://zdlldz.com/\"\u003EZack Lieberman\u003C/a\u003E, we got an agent in LA and attempted to get a larger interactive project made in Hollywood. One lesson we learned in this process: you can spend a lot of time knocking on doors, taking meetings, and putting together pitches and assorted documents. When you set out to be a filmmaker and tell stories that you\u2019re passionate about, however, these aren\u2019t the activities to which you aspire. You\u2019re not getting better as a storyteller because you\u2019re not telling stories.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI knew coming out of that experience that I wanted to tell a story I was personally passionate about, and so I set about researching and writing\u003Cem\u003E\u003C/em\u003Ethe script for\u003Cem\u003EMan-child.\u003C/em\u003EAnd if you\u2019re going to crowdfund a film, it has to be a project in which you\u2019re personally invested. Great example: \u003Ca href=\"http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1077901252/down-and-dangerous-a-crime-thriller-by-sabi\"\u003EZak Forsman\u2019s campaign to make a feature about his father\u003C/a\u003E. I grew up playing basketball in North Carolina and so the story of \u003Cem\u003EMan-child\u003C/em\u003Eis definitely personal to me.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy this is a story worth telling\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EMan-child\u003C/em\u003E takes place in the surprisingly high-stakes world of youth basketball. Sometimes referred to as grassroots basketball, the fascinating world (largely unseen by the general public) has been getting younger and younger in its corporatization. Middle schoolers are now nationally ranked and shoe companies sponsor teams and tournaments in an effort to be the first to discover the next Michael Jordan (and sign him to an unwritten contract).\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn response to this, in 2009 the NCAA lowered the age limit on who can be considered an official basketball prospect to include 7th graders. They did this in an effort to protect kids from unregulated recruiting.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis world is compelling to me for a number of reasons. We\u2019re talking about kids for whom the sky is the limit, but more often than not they have very little in their lives right now.

<description>&lt;p&gt;The following is a guest post by Koo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#8217;m currently crowdfunding my first feature film, and rather than pitch it to you, I&#8217;ll first share this &#8220;multimedia lookbook&#8221; that I put together. My project, a youth basketball feature entitled&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ryanbkoo/man-child-feature-film"&gt; Man-child&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/em&gt; is participating at Independent Film Week in New York this week and I assembled this clip to help producers understand what I&#8217;m going for aesthetically with the film. It&#8217;s just a combination of clips from other films paired with a voiceover, but it should give you some idea of what I&#8217;ll be going for:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, so how did I arrive at this point and why am I making this movie?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After co-directing the &#8220;urban western&#8221; web series &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://thewestside.tv/"&gt;The West Side&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; with &lt;a href="http://zdlldz.com/"&gt;Zack Lieberman&lt;/a&gt;, we got an agent in LA and attempted to get a larger interactive project made in Hollywood. One lesson we learned in this process: you can spend a lot of time knocking on doors, taking meetings, and putting together pitches and assorted documents. When you set out to be a filmmaker and tell stories that you&#8217;re passionate about, however, these aren&#8217;t the activities to which you aspire. You&#8217;re not getting better as a storyteller because you&#8217;re not telling stories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I knew coming out of that experience that I wanted to tell a story I was personally passionate about, and so I set about researching and writing&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;the script for&lt;em&gt;Man-child.&lt;/em&gt;And if you&#8217;re going to crowdfund a film, it has to be a project in which you&#8217;re personally invested. Great example: &lt;a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1077901252/down-and-dangerous-a-crime-thriller-by-sabi"&gt;Zak Forsman&#8217;s campaign to make a feature about his father&lt;/a&gt;. I grew up playing basketball in North Carolina and so the story of &lt;em&gt;Man-child&lt;/em&gt;is definitely personal to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why this is a story worth telling&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Man-child&lt;/em&gt; takes place in the surprisingly high-stakes world of youth basketball. Sometimes referred to as grassroots basketball, the fascinating world (largely unseen by the general public) has been getting younger and younger in its corporatization. Middle schoolers are now nationally ranked and shoe companies sponsor teams and tournaments in an effort to be the first to discover the next Michael Jordan (and sign him to an unwritten contract).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response to this, in 2009 the NCAA lowered the age limit on who can be considered an official basketball prospect to include 7th graders. They did this in an effort to protect kids from unregulated recruiting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This world is compelling to me for a number of reasons. We&#8217;re talking about kids for whom the sky is the limit, but more often than not they have very little in their lives right now. Thus they (and their families) are more easily won over with offers of money, free shoes, and the other benefits that street agents, coaches, and other hangers-on offer them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fact is that the vast majority of talented teenagers will never make it as professional athletes, but it&#8217;s more than just a matter of athleticism: it comes down to the decisions they make. These are decisions that few of us have ever had to face, much less at such a young age. This is why I find the world of youth basketball to be so interesting from a dramatist&#8217;s perspective: big decisions for little kids.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why I&#8217;m crowdfunding the film&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First off, that part about knocking on doors &#8212; there&#8217;s nothing wrong with trying to get your film funded in a traditional manner. But as someone who&#8217;s spent 18 months sharing everything I possibly can about filmmaking on my website &lt;a href="http://nofilmschool.com/"&gt;NoFilmSchool&lt;/a&gt;, I felt if I could get my readers behind the project that it could be a film that&#8217;s enabled by a community that actually wants to see the film, as opposed to an executive that thinks the film will be profitable. I want to make a basketball movie about real-world, quiet moments as opposed to big melodramatic set-pieces, and I didn&#8217;t feel the Powers That Be would be interested in making the film that I want to see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will we make it? I don&#8217;t know. The goal is an ambitious $115,000 &#8212; sports movies are logistically complex and expensive to make, unfortunately &#8212; and there are only a few short days left. Check out my campaign video if you&#8217;re interested and good luck with your own personal passion projects!&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;We caught up with Tiffany Shlain as she prepares to release her newest feature, CONNECTED &#8220;An Autoblogography about Love, Death and Technology.&#8221; A DIY pioneer, Tiffany is always at the forefront of utilizing interesting and innovative ways to reach and engage audiences. Starting next week CONNECTED makes its way to screens nation wide after a successful festival run. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What made you decide to make the film &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fifteen years ago, I founded &lt;strong&gt;The&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Webby Awards&lt;/strong&gt; because I was fascinated by how the Internet was connecting people all over the world in new and unexpected ways. And being so interested in the ways things are connected, I it always struck me how so many of the conversations about the problems of our day were discussed as separate challenges. Whether the environment, women&#8217;s rights, poverty or social justice, it became more apparent to me that that when you perceive everything as connected, it radically shapes your perspective. The concept of interdependence has been around since the dawn of humanity, but the relatively recent component of the internet has added this new layer that connects us in a fresh way, almost giving the world a new type of central nervous system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a filmmaker and so decided to craft a film that would tell the story of being connected in the 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; century.&#160; I asked my father, Leonard Shlain, to be a co-writer on the project.&#160; My dad was a surgeon, but also a pioneer in writing about connections between science, consciousness, the human brain, art and civilization. His best-selling books included &lt;em&gt;The Alphabet Versus the Goddess; Sex, Time, and Power; and Art &amp;amp; Physics. &lt;/em&gt;He was an incredible visionary, had a wonderful knowledge of history and I felt he would make an enormous contribution to the film.&#160; Just as we began production on &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED&lt;/em&gt;, he was diagnosed with brain cancer. &#160;I quickly discovered that here I was writing about all these interrelationships and the one great connection I had overlooked was the emotional connection. &#160;That&#8217;s when I began the difficult process of rewriting the film to include my personal story of connection interwoven into the the bigger story of connection throughout history and where I think we are heading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The subtitle of &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED&lt;/em&gt; is &#8220;An Autoblogography about Love, Death and Technology.&#8221;&#160; What does the word &#8220;autoblogography&#8221; mean?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Autoblogography&#8221; is a word we made up in order to convey that the film is autobiographical, but also has to do with technology. &#160;It also conveys the humor which is a major thread in the movie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there a connection between &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED &lt;/em&gt;and your last film &lt;em&gt;THE TRIBE&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my earlier film, &lt;em&gt;THE TRIBE, &lt;/em&gt;I&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;explored American Jewish identity through the history of the Barbie Doll.&#160; I know, it sounds absurd.&#160; After all, what can the most successful doll on the planet show about being Jewish in American today?&#160; It turns out that Barbie was invented in 1959 by an American Jewish businesswoman named Ruth Handler.&#160; A Jewish woman created the ultimate shiksa. With &lt;em&gt;THE TRIBE, &lt;/em&gt;I wove together archival footage, graphics, animation, humor, and even slam poetry that took audiences on a ride through the complex history of both Barbie and the Jewish people.&#160; By revealing all these unique connections, &lt;em&gt;THE TRIBE&lt;/em&gt; explored the question of what it means to be an American Jew in the 21st century. &#160;&lt;em&gt;CONNECTED&lt;/em&gt; employs much of the same collage visual style but&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;explores what it means to be a human in 21st century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you believe there are positives and negatives to technology?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My father loved quoting Sophocles, &#8220;Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse.&#8221;&#160; So, from the beginning of time, every new technology and advancement brought with them a complex mix of positive and negative repercussions as well as unintended consequences.&#160; &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED&lt;/em&gt; addresses the potential of these new 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; century technologies, the importance of harnessing their powers, but also covers the ramifications when these new technologies take over and even overwhelm our personal lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#8217;ve started practicing what I call &#8220;technology Shabbats&#8221; with my family.&#160; Every Friday at sundown, our whole family disconnects until Saturday night.&#160; No cell phones, no internet, no television, no Ipads. No multi-tasking. We disconnect completely. Or maybe I should say we connect completely &#8211; with ourselves and each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am learning that turning off technology is just as powerful as turning it on and that our society needs both. &#160;Technology can be so enticing and overwhelming, but we also need to remember how important it is to be fully present with the people you love and also be alone and quiet. &#160;The potential of technology globally and personally is exponential, but we need to know where the off switch is and when to shut it down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://workbookproject.com/newbreed/files/2011/09/Tiffany.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So what is the ultimate goal of your film?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The goal of &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED &lt;/em&gt;is to launch a global conversation about what it means to be connected in the 21st century. &#160;I hope that the film will be the catalyst for this global conversation. &#160;In an effort to expand the power of the film, we&#8217;ve created a robust website, facebook page where we constantly add new articles about this topic and have created an educator&#8217;s kit including conversation cards, a film guide a curriculum for educators.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the film you say, &#8220;For centuries we have declared our independence, perhaps it&#8217;s time we finally declare our interdependence.&#8221; &#160;What does it mean to declare our interdependence?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#8217;s time to shift perspective. &#160;In many ways we as a species are mirroring the way we each develop as a human on this earth. We come into the world completely dependent on our mother&#8217;s and parents.&#160; As we grow up, we evolve into independent adults, live on our own and get our own jobs and provide for our own families.&#160; But this independence then brings us to a new realization of how we are connected with family, friends and community. &#160;I think we, as a species are evolving to the point where we are entering this understanding of our interdependence. Who knows if all these tools we are creating for collaborating in new ways through the internet are leading us to this understanding, or the understanding is driving us to create these tools. Technology is just an extension of ourselves. It is not separate. Regardless of what&#8217;s propelling it, these living and thinking interdependently will actually change our consciousness and help make real transformation in the world around us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So you are optimistic about our future?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I do Q&amp;amp;A&#8217;s after screening &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED,&lt;/em&gt; I am frequently asked, &#8220;What makes you so optimistic?&#8221; &#160;I respond by saying that I believe in humans and humanity and in our innate ability to change for the better.&#160; Look at the end of slavery and apartheid, the women&#8217;s rights and civil rights movements, and other political and social transformative movements in the last few hundred years, and you can see how we are indeed evolving. There are two things that make me optimistic. We as humans are curious and we have a deep desire to connect. These two things will make us move us forward to a better place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are also spearheading a new project called &#8220;Let it Ripple.&#8221;&#160; What is this and how does this connect to &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &#8216;Let it Ripple&#8217; project will pick up where &lt;em&gt;CONNECTED &lt;/em&gt;leaves off. &lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;We are creating a series of six short films, all tied together by the general theme of connectedness. &#160;The first film is &lt;em&gt;A Declaration of Interdependence. &lt;/em&gt;My husband, Ken Goldberg, co-writer Sawyer Steele, and I wrote &lt;em&gt;A&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Declaration of Interdependence&lt;/em&gt;, which is based on the American &lt;em&gt;Declaration of Independence&lt;/em&gt;.

The film will be made up entirely of these submissions, tied together by our animator, Stefan Nadelman, with music by one of my favorite sound artists Moby.&lt;/p&gt;
