Last year Eva Markvoort was honoured in person as the film about her life, and 65_RedRoses, the moving story of her double-lung transplant made by her friends Nimisha Mukerji and Philip Lyall was the hit of the festival and won the Best Canadian Film Award and two others.
Tonight, a screening of a film called Leave Them Laughing is playing at VIFF, and tonight's screening is dedicated to Eva Markvoort.
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.

It hasn't been ALL rosé champagne* and freshly harvested oysters here on Salt Spring... just a healthy dose! While Lizzy continued our Olympics coverage back on the mainland, David, Sandy and I 'retreated" to this nearby island paradise to spend a few days considering our 'vision', and in particular new opportunities arising from the recent upsurge in interest in The Corporation around corporate personhood. We also talked about the upcoming LACE Campaign, and how to use our previous successes to launch this campaign.

Be The MediaIt's a time of reflection on where the need is, and on what one can possibly do to have any kind of impact. I prepared for the new year by having a donations frenzy yesterday afternoon for a number of alternative media venues that I regularly read. (List and links at the end of this blog). And thank you to all you HelloCoolWorld.com supporters that donated to
GiveSomethingBig. If you missed the chance to send holiday cards, you can
donate to Inter Pares anytime! We think they are worth supporting.
Now my thoughts my heart goes out to Gaza.

Freedom for PalestineOne of the pleasures 
of working on the ‘GiveSomethingBig.com’ campaign for Inter Pares was meeting designer David Berman. He’s been working with the Ottawa-based social justice organization for 8 years. We had met on the phone during an earlier project -- but in the summer of ’08 we gathered in the IP board room, for a workshop with the data-boys from Exvisu, to talk about audiences, blogospheres and strategies to motivate giving.
NEWSFLASH! Our GSB campaign featured in Design Edge Canada!
