One Day on Earth
Posted project update #10What a month!
This past month has been a dream come true for the entire One Day on Earth team. After years of planning, we shared the completed One Day on Earth film in approximately 160 countries on April 22nd, Earth Day. We set a new world record for the most international film premiere. Kyle and I attended the screening in the United Nations General Assembly (picture below) - with 1700 other attendees. It was filled to capacity! We posted pictures and videos HERE from some of the events from around the world.
This is all possible thanks to the support from friends, family and community members, in particular ones found here on kickstarter. And, we have happily begun the process of prepping for kickstarter reward fulfillment. As customary for film distribution, we'll be shipping the DVDs after our theatrical run is completed. . . but there is plenty of organizing to be done in-between then and now. We appreciate your patience and we can't wait to share.
We'll be in theaters in New York from June 1-7 and in Los Angeles from June 22-28 (click HERE for info). We hope to expand into other cities as news of the film spreads. In New York and LA, we are planning to donate the box-office profit to local charities. Help grow the impact of the screenings by referring all your NY and LA friends!
In other US markets, we are using a website called Tugg, which gives anyone the ability to organize their own theatrical screening in a local theater. Internationally, we are working with local organizers to connect with theaters and schools who are interested in bringing an audience together.
As all this activity is buzzing around, we are also reviewing the 11/11/11 video footage; there is no shortage of daily inspiration in the One Day on Earth archive. We are dedicated to grow the project's reach. . . there's lots to do!
Thank you for your support. We've included a couple links below, please forward them to anyone you think will be interested.

commented on a projectHi All, We are sorry that some of you have not received the email blasts. Given the growing nature of our One Day on Earth online community (approaching 30,000), and the small size of our team, we try to be as efficient as possible by aggregating our email lists into a single blast. Aside from email blasts, you'll also notice that we post blog entries and updates via social media - feel free to check out the latest posting from last week: http://www.onedayonearth.org/profiles/blogs/our-weekly-update-1 That said, I hope everyone is aware of the global screening on Earth Day (April 22nd). We are literally working around the clock to try and secure venues in every country of the world. We have just finished the film and we are currently coordinating distribution for the screening. As per standard distribution schedules, DVDs are produced and shipped after the film is released - we are working toward an official release date, and we can't wait to share this film with you. If you are interested in the global screening, please check out this link: http://www.onedayonearth.org/screening Another update is coming. I'll post a comment here to inform you that the email has been sent, so you will know to check your inbox. Thank you for your patience and support. This has been a labor of love for our team and we have not wavered for a single day in making sure that this film exceeds all expectations. It is truly a one of a kind community effort. Thank you for being an important part of this movement. Brandon

Posted project update #9Cleared for takeoff
Good news Backers... in the past couple weeks we shared the One Day on Earth feature film with several United Nations Communication Directors and, after a couple pointers on international sensitivities, we are cleared to press on with the Global Screening Day.
We are working to schedule this date, as you can guess there are a lot of parties involved. Via our friends at UNESCO, we have some amazing screening offers from World Heritage Sites around the globe: from mountain ranges in Australia, to ancient cities in the Middle East.
As we confirm locations and the date, we'll be sure to post info... lots of info. We are very excited and working around the clock to make this happen in a very big way.
Thanks again for your support. More updates coming soon!

commented on a projectHi Jennifer, Our film is far more caused based and, especially with the support of some of the worlds leading NGOs & UN, gives a fair representation of daily life on our planet: both the joys and struggles. With Vimeo as our partner, we worked with some of the best content creators in the world :) Here are a couple articles that address the differences from the New York Times and Telegraph. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/30/movies/one-day-on-earth-seeks-to-capture-the-world.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/8683239/One-day-on-Earth-captured-on-film.html As an ongoing community and collaboration, we recently filmed again on 11/11/11. We hope to do it every year going forward. Thanks for the support and reaching out to clarify. Best, Brandon

commented on a projectHi Rob and Craig, Sorry for the communication lull - the last update was sent through a service called "constant contact" and it seems kickstarter updates have proven more reliable. We just posted an update a moment ago and we are excited to report that we have begun conforming the film. Now that we have gotten past a few major hurdles, we'll plan on posting more updates on progress. Thanks so much for the patience and so sorry for the unintended radio silence. -Brandon and Kyle

Posted project update #8One Day on Earth New Year Update
Post CommentDear Kickstarter Backers,
Happy New Year! We are pleased to announce that we have begun conforming the film (getting the "final cut" ready for color correction and picture clean-up).
Bringing the 3000 hours of incredibly diverse footage into a feature length format has been an unprecedented process. We have translated over 70 languages and have every country in the world represented in the film.
We're lucky to have such a patient community of supporters - as we know that we have taken a bit longer than expected to get to the finish line. That said, we will plan to send updates on a more regular basis now that the major editing challenge is nearly wrapped. Our last update was sent to all backers through "constant contact" - but it seems it wasn't received by everyone. We hope this makes it to your inbox. Feel free to also "like" us on facebook to stay in touch.
We are working out our distribution strategy, starting with the amazing opportunity to have the world's first-ever global screening. Those that supported us by pre-ordering DVD's will be notified on the timeline for DVD distribution once we have the rollout scheduled.
We'll be updating our site in the next several weeks to feature regular blog postings referencing the great stories shared with us from our 2010 and 2011 archive. We're also excited to independently acknowledge the backers from the kickstarter campaign in that update.
We can't thank you enough for the support- the process of making this film has linked communities, created a new perspective, and showed us the power of a new method of production. We are looking forward to sharing the results and we hope you'll be proud to have helped back this process.
Best,
Brandon, Kyle and the One Day on Earth Team

Posted project update #7Forging ahead with the edit
Dear One Day on Earth backers,
We first have to say that we are still so moved by the support given to us through the Kick Starter Campaign.
We are making fantastic progress through the post-production schedule and continue to be inspired by the videos and community of filmmakers that made this all possible. We are also getting incredible support for our next filming day of 11/11/11. The creation of a yearly shared global archive is clearly an important tool and movement and we are excited to produce it with the help of over 60+ non-profits and 17,500+ One Day on Earth members. Please share this article about our hopes to continue this collaboration, at least until 2015: http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/one-day-on-earth-social-good/
We are working diligently on finishing the first global film and will be reaching out later in the year for shipping info to send the Kickstarter rewards when the final steps are complete. The post-production funds raised through this campaign are a vital part to this 3-year-long dream and process; so, thanks again for making it come true.
Please join the One Day on Earth online community, friend us on facebook, and follow us on twitter for up-to-date info on the progress of One Day on Earth. And, please spread the news of the 11/11/11 film day!
Thanks again,
One Day on Earth

One Day on Earth
Santa Monica, CA
One Day on Earth was founded in 2008 by Kyle Ruddick. What started as an idea became a website that has grown into a community representing every country in the world. The community is made up of a talented and diverse mix of filmmakers, journalists, educators, NGOs and inspired citizens.
Hi! That is all awesome! =) Can't wait to get the link to the video stream!
