It’s Almost Banquäla Time!
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009It’s hard to believe that there are less than two weeks left until our Banquäla! It really snuck up on us fast. We’ve spent the past month pushing every second to get done in time, and I think it’s really going to show at the event. I can’t tell you how excited I am. Excited about the Banquäla. Excited about our speakers. Excited about the beautiful art that we’re going to be showing and selling to support our next project. But more than those things I’m excited about the idea behind the whole thing.
We’ve been able to produce media for many really amazing organizations over the past two years. We’ve traveled to some really beautiful places, met some incredible people and worked hard to tell their stories for them. But now we’re inviting you to help. We don’t want to be the only ones doing this. We want everyone to join in. We knew from the beginning that we want this to be more than us, bigger than we could be alone. But it took a lot of time, a lot of mistakes and a lot of prayer to realize exactly what that meant.
Understand that all along our intentions were to make the world a better place. But we’ve realized that might just be too big of a job for us to attempt to do alone. And that realization pushed us to the idea of including you. The past few videos have expressed some of our ideas on media: that it’s a powerful tool, that it’s interactive and takes time and effort to join in, and that it’s universal and really does connect the world. Today our video is “revolutionary”. We believe that Media is changing the world in new and exciting ways, and right now, to us that means opening up the door and inviting everyone to help out. Join the movement and revolutionize the way that the world is connected. Change things. Make a difference. You’re invited…what are you waiting for?
