A MOVIE GUIDE TO OCCUPY WALL STREET! The Corporation one of the Top Ten Films that explain the birth of the movement.
As Colette and I head next weekend to the Bioneers Conference, we are working our business vision, inspired largely by our decade-long involvement with the creation and marketing of The Corporation film. Follow the converstation on Twitter: @CorporationFilm.
Hello Cool World is excited to be expanding the services we offer to folks with a cause, including what we are calling "Fairer Trade" distribution and campaigns. We had our start with The Corporation, and now MORE than ever we realize how important our work with this film is, and what an influence it has --just yesterday, Reuters "A Movie Guide to Occupy Wall Street" listed The Corporation in the TOP TEN films that 'explain the birth of a movement." This is very fitting as it comes just as we were working on outreach for our focus-testing of the new shorter cut of the film in three parts for high school students that we are the distributor for. We will give a higher return than is typical to the filmmakers, and we will use our profits to sustain the movement to get the film in the hands of the next generation.
Katherine Dodds AKA "Kat" is the founder of Good Company Communications and HelloCoolWorld.com. Trained in renegade advertising & branding through her work with Adbusters in the '90s, Kat's early induction into the possibilities of the web-world was inspired by the term hypertext, which she immediately found comforting. She is dedicated to cause-related communication and to the development and use of tools that promote democratic processes.

What a great party! Thank you to everyone who came to eat, drink, learn, and discuss with us! We had a wonderful time. Besides the worldwide livestreaming audience, more than sixty people RSVPed to our event (and a few extra dropped in to say hello!)
We heard from four of our wonderful campaign partners: Ian Roe of I Have Immunity; Nimisha Mukerji of 65_RedRoses; Lisa Despins of the LACE Campaign; and Cindy Masaro of Dating Confidential. Each of them spoke about the value of social media in their work, whether it's supporting advocates, telling stories, or sharing information.
We are fortunate at Hello Cool World to have such an amazing team with diverse talents and backgrounds, but connecting at #SMWhealth with such an array of innovative, dedicated people who are all integrating social media into their health promotion activities was truly inspiring. I feel a passion energy for the work that Hello Cool World does because for the first time I was face-to-face with the members of the growing community of tech-savvy health advocates. I'm glad to know that there are so many of us, and that the nature of our work with social media allows us to communicate and share with an ever-expanding network.
Michelle is a freelance writer and anthropologist with a Master of Public Health from UBC. Her passions are promoting health and building community. She's worked in grassroots community organizations in Vancouver, Victoria and Oceania.

KENSINGTON & HELLO COOL WORLD - STRATEGIC PARTNERS IN HYBRID DISTRIBUTION
I recently had the privilege of meeting with the talented folks over at Kensington Communications that created RAW OPIUM: PAIN PLEASURE PROFITS, one of the documentary projects Hello Cool World has been involved with over the past year.
I was eager to sit down with producer Robert Lang and Kensington’s social media lead Amanda Connon-Unda to get a full update.
Kensington first approached Hello Cool World (HCW) last fall looking for strategy advice on self-distributing their film. In May, we worked with Kensington to host the world premiere of RAW OPIUM at DOXA and to strategize grassroots outreach across North America.
