A Healthy Helping of Humanity
Tuesday is here - the wind chill, the coffee hot, and social feeds inundated with political vitriol.
I often wonder how contemporary media became such a bloody battleground.
News notifications batter our mobile screens, talk shows tear into Trump's latest tweet, and everyone stumbles through the smoke. Old wounds open, black blood bubbling to the surface and spilling across digital pixels and airwaves.
Two months ago, I was armed with a new project. Over wine and tapas, Marcelo Burkin, an award winning filmmaker, told me he had created 52 films of perfect strangers confiding to a single camera. Would I like to help?
I was charmed by their simple message and honored to be brought on board. My small contribution - copy and creative strategy. Two months later we're live with 3 digital channels and a new episode posted every week.
If you would like a small bulwark against the tone of the day, have a look, a listen, and subscribe for a helping of humanity every week.
