Hello Cool World Vision Retreat

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.

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.

Happy Birthday to The Corporation!

This time six years ago I would have been sitting through the early screening at Tinseltown as The Corporation had the beginning of it's almost record-breaking run there.

I would have been selling our devil-man tee-shirts for cash on the stairway, and marveling  at the table action with our our activist cohorts, such as the Council of Canadians, and the lineups of hardcore fans that just wouldn't quit.

6 Years since The Corporation (A film by Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan) Hit Theaters! Retrospective & Book Launch tonight in Vancouver for Nettie Wild's films.

Tomorrow, January 16 marks 6 years since The Corporation launched in Canadian Theatres. That day it also screened at The World Social Forum in Mumbai, and at the Sundance Festival in Salt Lake City. As the decade turned, The Corp found itself in two "top ten" lists for the decade -- Eugene Hernandez of Indie Wire,  lists is as on of the top 10 docs of the decade and  Peter Hall of Hollywood.com puts in his top 10 of underrated movies of the '00's.

One of the things I have always noted is the staying power of this film. It remains the reason people find us as it's popularity is not waning.

A New Year to Work For Justice and Peace

Now my thoughts my heart goes out to Gaza.

Hello Cool World has been working with peace & justice NGO Inter Pares for over two years now and we really believe in the work they do and the way they do it. They take a grassroots approach to structural change, which strongly appeals to us. They were early supporters of The Corporation and by working with us to develop their campaigns, they continue to support all the work we do.

Usually we don’t ask for direct donations but if you’re thinking about making a charitable donation this year or looking for a meaningful gift, please consider Inter Pares’ Give Something Big campaign. And if you have a little time to spread the word about the campaign -- that would thrill us too!
