Somewhere in between these groups there lies a humanity that many of us have lost touch with. What did you see? What did you hear? Where were you? How did you feel? What is your memory of September 11th, 2001? How your and yours life changed since? These are the questions that will bring us back to the day the world watched New York with a shock . This project would like to transform this milestone collective memory to a moment of solidarity. Today there is a void where a global conversation should exist. The consequences of the September 2001 attacks have been so widespread and impactful that they have left us divided. We have divided ourselves with fear, ‘othering’ and political biases.; others within our community and others miles away. My September 11 will provide the platform, the community and the inspiration for the international public to come together and not only remember the past but also celebrate the hopes for a positive, peaceful future. The project will include a unique website, www.myseptember11.org, that will showcase a wide collection of inspirational quotes as well as stories and interviews with leaders, thinkers, artists and activists who have been touched by the war on terror. These stories will take users back in time to Sep 11, 2001 and inspire them to share personal memories and stories by using text, images and videos relating to how 9/11 and the war on terror has changed their lives. In addition to our online presence we will include a large offline production event in collaboration with Media Facads festival in Europe and other urban screens around the world. We will produce large-scale interactive live events in various major cities around the world marking the 11th anniversary of the attacks. The events will be broadcasted simultaneously online and will include stories, discussions, artistic installations and on-site interaction between online and offline participants. All together we will unite the amateur, the professional, the online, the offline, the local, the international, and those who were affected directly and indirectly by the September 11th, 2001 attacks. Maayan Cohen is the creative producer of My September 11th and currently leading its development process. The project is owned by Amythos Media. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Intro-MySep11th_Compressed_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="342" width_o="1400" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Intro-MySep11th_Compressed_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/MySep11th-HomePage-Compressed_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="343" width_o="1000" height_o="536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/MySep11th-HomePage-Compressed_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/MySep11th-HomePage-RollOver_Compressed_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="343" width_o="1000" height_o="536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/MySep11th-HomePage-RollOver_Compressed_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Interview-Story-MySep11th_Compressed_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="343" width_o="1000" height_o="536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Interview-Story-MySep11th_Compressed_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Image-Story-MySep11th_Compressed_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="343" width_o="1000" height_o="536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Image-Story-MySep11th_Compressed_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Story-Submission-MySep11th_Compressed_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="343" width_o="1000" height_o="536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Story-Submission-MySep11th_Compressed_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Map-View-MySep11th_Compressed_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="343" width_o="1000" height_o="536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27249/1810376/Map-View-MySep11th_Compressed_o.jpg" align="left" /> Video Trailer for My September 11th is available upon request. http://springwatermedia.com/Smart-Women-Survival-Guide http://springwatermedia.com/following/springwatermedia.com/Smart-Women-Survival-Guide Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:37:07 +0000 Spring Water Media 617432 The Smart Woman Survival Guide takes place behind the scenes of a fictional lifestyle program called Smart Woman.
