Green shoots independent filmmakers group ( comunity actualization projects)

HI All

The idea for Green shoots independent filmmakers group is to form a local group ( i live near Redding California) to learn to make documentaries of projects the film making group promotes. One example is the micro trash documentary( below).GSIFG  (Green shoots independent filmmakers group) would promote the project locally on Craigs list and meetup, plus use the local news paper and any other publications GSIFG could leverage for support.Giving a time,date, activity,need to brings and location. 
The big picture is The filmakers group would document comunitys activley changing the enviroment they live in for the better. Other ideas of community activation would be requested by members of GSIFG and the community.

Note: I will further develop the idea, this is what i have for now.

My first example:

Have you ever wanted to participate in a flash mob?

Well this is a flash mob of a different color.

 "Viral flash mob micro trash film project"

This is how it started.I wrote the following note to family and friends on facebook,


Hi All

 I am working on a documentary about micro trash.
I started by filming road side trash.First i started by shooting a "before clean up"
shot of high density road side trash and then an "after clean" shot.

Next
My next filming will be of a road side pull out with a high density of micro trash.
I will do a before clean up shot(ideally to frame the shot well i will be looking for a crescent shaped pull out.).
Next i will do a half clean up shot to give some contrast of before and after.
The last shot will be a shot with the cleanup complete.
 
Other planed shots

#2 shoot

 Dig down one foot and examine micro trash penetration(along the road/on the beach/in a field)
 as it breaks down in to the sand or soil.

#3 shoot
  Taking the trash home i will lay out and sort the trash on a tarp,
 a trash inventory of sorts.
 Weigh of trash collected?

#4 Editing and narrating.
Micro trash is a symptom of a larger social problem.
what is it?

Between now and then

I invite you to film one or more of the same shots and share them hear or any where you believe it will make a difference.


THIS IS WHERE THE "VIRAL FLASH MOB MICRO TRASH FILM PROJECT" STARTS.

My intent is to raise awareness about micro trash,
 whether it be on the side of the road,on ocean beaches or along rivers.
I am not judging, more than anything,
 i am trying to understand the social disease that got the trash there in the first place.
Raising awareness about micro trash i believe will reduce its spread.

How you can help raise awareness;

--Share this with friends, lets get viral.( the things you share with people are a reflection of your character,
 the more noble the content you share, the more you bring a environment of nobility in to being.)

--Make a comment or start a conversation.(thoughtful words have a massive positive social ripple effect.)

--chose one of the shots above, film it and share it hear.

Lets change the world by cleaning it up first.

IF U SHARE THEY WILL COME!
