An Oscar Party with Purpose

We have had the good fortune to work with TWO Oscar nominees for this year's best documentary: Sun Come Up and Gasland.

Sun Come Up follows the evacuation and relocation of some of the world's first environmental refugees --the Carteret Islanders, a peaceful community living on a remote island chain in the South Pacific Ocean. Tragically, rising sea levels as a result of global climate change have disproportionately affected small island communities like these. We must not let these communities bear the brunt of this problem alone! 

Judy Schapiro of Ad Age Digital gives a shout out to Charlotte and Call2Action:

Where are the Women in Tech, You Ask?

For the month of December only, we are dropping our set-up fees ($500 savings) for all nonprofit clients.

Overview

Participant Media’s documentary The Cove uncovers the truth about the horrifying international capture and killing of dolphins. Most people in Japan have no idea that this crime is even happening. The documentary makers went to great lengths to secretly film the slaughter of these magnificent animals. Their goal was to share the story with the world.

Challenge

A cove in a small seaside village in Taiji, Japan, is just one of the traps used to capture the world’s friendliest creature. Life in captivity is the fate of the most attractive dolphins captured -- the rest are slaughtered for their meat.

With the goal of forcing the Japanese government to stop these brutal murders, The Cove’s producers wanted to share details of this tragedy with the world and enable supporters to spread the word by signing a petition and writing letters to government officials.
