Action Alert: The 1 Second Film

  T his is a wonderful project!  I love the way its described how this project is meant to bring the world together, one second at a time, using collaborative art to address different social issues.  What really stands out for me is how this was all started by one student for a school project.  This helps to show that we can accomplish a lot more than what most of us assume.  

Donating a $1.00 is not much at all and takes all of 5 minutes.  Please help out.

 Thank you.

WHAT IS THE 1 SECOND FILM?

THE 1 SECOND FILM is a 70mm non-profit collaborative film project attempting to bring thousands of diverse people together to raise a million dollar budget $1 at a time. The film is financed by micro-donations from people around the world. Once finished, all profits raised by the film will be donated to the Global Fund for Women. The 1 Second Film will have 90-minutes of end credits; a feature-length 'making of' documentary will play during the credits, showing how people around the world came together for one moment.

The 1 Second Film is animated and consists of 12 giant frames that were painted simultaneously by hundreds of people during an event on March 8, 2001 (International Women's Day). Each painting will be filmed twice (on 70mm) to create the 24 frames in one-second of animation. After the film's premiere, the 12 frames will be on exhibit and auctioned off to raise money for charity.

Anyone in the world can produce The 1 Second Film by donating $1 or more. Our producers can also appear in our 70mm documentary by submitting videos of themselves helping promote the film.

The 1 Second Film is the start of a 5 Phase Plan to bring the world together, one second at a time, using collaborative art to address different social issues.

HOW DID THIS START?

This film began as Nirvan Mullick's student project. Driven by an idea of bringing people together using collaborative art, Nirvan made a simple flier and began selling producer credits on the streets for $1. From the grassroots support received, the film has slowly grown into an international collaboration fueled by thousands of small donations. A non-profit foundation has been formed to support the project and carry out the various sequels. Visit Nirvan's production blog for the latest news.
