We are a mission driven social venture business! So what exactly does that mean? We drafted a small flyer before our trip to Bioneers that connected our business vision to some of our projects that will be our priorities in the coming year.
For Hello Cool World, campaigns are mission critical. Whether we are using a film to launch a movement, or creating a campaign from the ground up, we care about the long-term engagement of communities around a cause.
As social entrepreneurs we run a triple bottom line company. As film distributors we are defining fairer trade for films with a social message. We offer a higher return to filmmakers and use our profits to sustain campaigns.
One example will be our work around the film 65_RedRoses.
We are the Canadian distributor for 65_RedRoses, the award-winning documentary about Eva Markvoort. Tomorrow we will be shooting interviews with directors Nimisha Mukerji and Philip Lyall, Cyrus McEachern,Eva's friend and collaborator on the photo project that has become the heart of our upcoming campaign.
65_RedRoses chronicles Eva’s battle with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and the double-lung transplant that gave her two more precious years of life. Tragically Eva lost her battle with CF at only 25. Her legacy is 65RedRoses.com, the film and campaign for organ donation and CF Awareness she helped create – Live Life. Pass it On. #4Eva.
Modelled on our partnership with BC Transplant, we are spearheading a global awareness campaign. Our vision includes community screenings across North America to support the upcoming US premiere on OWN.

Last year we had a table, we rolled out our own poppy icon stickers -- to remember the vicitims of the drug war. This FIVE petalled opium poppy is available in sticker format. This year Hello Cool World will have a table again, where we will be featuring all our projects, giving away poppy stickers, and showing off our LACE. And if you want to buy our cool poppy stickers AND the new posters we've done for The Corporation, we now have them all for sale on our webstore!

ANONYMOUS HEALTH CAMPAIGNERS TIE ONE ON! At least that's what the headlines seem to say...
And taken to even greater heights in an attempt to remind BC women to get their Pap tests!
We are midway through #Pap11, Pap Awareness Week, and LACE campaigners have been hitting the streets all over town. (For real, not just in photoshop!) The best way to stalk these health crusaders is by following @LACEcampaign @Pap11 on Twitter, or following them on LACEbook.
