A great way for environmental, arts, and community organizations to reach out.

The Filmanthropist Project is a competition for films featuring individuals or organizations which contribute to society. The project encourages film makers of all skill levels to participate; the emphasis is on honoring people who make our communities healthier and stronger.

Its a great opportunity for local organizations to show off! The Minnesota Conservation Corps was on the front of this wave: Check out their film.

Or watch all the submissions.

This film suggests more knowledgeable and experienced environmental organizations should be featured and share information with the public. I worry about the Swan Lady setting the stage for disease outbreaks and teaching maladaptive behaviors… but her heart is obviously in the right place. 

The 2008 submissions screened last week, but its not too early to start thinking about next year! It would be a great volunteer or intern project! Plus you’d gain a great video to use for additional promotions.
