14. Do you do charity work?
|
I've done a fair amount of charity work over the years. Normally, volunteering my services as a photographer. I've raised money for St. Judes Children Research Center, APLA, the Tsunami relief efforts in Indonesia, and most recently the Venice Family Clinic.
I'm currently involved in a project which I founded called One Grass Root. Although it is not a charity, this latest project is an effort to get people to talk about issues that Americans care about in this coming election year. We have produced a film short that will be available soon on YouTube and a website which will allow people to sound off on these issues. The film is simply a diverse group of people asking questions. Such as... "Should there be a tax incentive for volunteer work?", and, "Should we add an option of none-of-the-above to our election ballots". The film even raises questions about abortion, stem cell research, and legalizing marijuana - all in about two minutes.
I'll post more about the One Grass Root project when it's ready for public view. We're pretty close to getting it out. Hope you guys will look at it and pass it along to all your friends. We're hoping to get enough viewers that main-stream media will give us some coverage. Oh, and please buy a T-shirt from our website when it's up.
