I really want to support the film Freedom Writers (see previous post) and am waiting to get a copy.

Interestingly, StoryMakers Studio found my blog entry and contacted me with an invitation to an event in support of the film. It’s in Hollywood at the Chinese Theatre and I won’t be popping over for it (funnily enough) but here’s their info for anyone wanting to follow up on this powerful film and what’s happening around it.

“a live conversation with a whole bunch of people who made the movie, including writer/director Richard LaGravenese, several cast members, at least one of the original Freedom Writers and Erin Gruwell…

“For those of your members who can’t get to Hollywood to attend the live event, we’re considering videotaping the evening and making it available for viewing later….Anyone who would want to watch program on a tape delayed basis can sign up by going to:

Since a big part of this evening is all about raising awareness for Erin and the Freedom Writers Foundation, we’d really appreciate your support.

Let’s make something wonderful happen.

Important independent films like Freedom Writers (eg. early Micheal Moore, Super Size Me, What the Bleep) are doing much better now a days thanks, in part, to the promotional power of the internet to spread political messages virally.

More power to them. And as the man says… let’s (keep) making wonderful things happen. Why not tell your own stories and get them out there.
