Jane '08 campaign trailer # 2

Jane '08 trailer # 1 of our fake campaign ad series has been quite successfully stomping in support of 'Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict'. The viral clip has been picked up by bloggers everywhere and already reached more than 1000 views on YouTube and close to that number on Zannel.

We decided it was time to send installment # 2,'Jane '08: Leadership' into the running.
Decide for yourself.

Talking about campaigns:
Nice "Exercise your Emmy Rights" campaign-themed spread from Universal in the current Emmy Magazine by the way: Every Universal show in the running received the presidential campaign treatment. 

My favorites:
'Support Our 'Heroes,' 'Baldwyn * Fey - All the Way,' 'Get a Clue / Vote SVU' and 'D'Onofrio * Noth tough on crime'.

Documentary.org officially relaunches

The International Documentary Association is very excited to announce the launch of the new IDA website, located at: www.documentary.org

The new site features some exciting changes and additions.

Documentary trailers, clips of works in progress, shorts and IDA events will be featured in our new video player.

• We encourage all members to use this service and submit video from their own productions.

• Members will be able to launch and update their own profile page. We hope you will use this to spread the word about your work, organization or business.

• More frequently updated news, blogs, commenting and forums will keep you informed about the world of documentary filmmaking.

• Easy-to-see calendar listings will spotlight upcoming events and opportunities.

• Plus, all of the resources and information you've come to expect form the IDA will be more accessible than ever.

• As with any launch, there are bound to be bugs. While we are doing our best to smooth all of those out, we would appreciate your help and input. Please email all comments, bugs and input to feedback@documentary.org.

Sincerely,
The IDA Staff and Board of Directors

Harrison Ford Viral PSA

Ouch!

Harrison Ford pulled a Steve Carell for a public service announcement: He gets his chest waxed. The 65-year-old star winces in apparent pain as a strip of hair is yanked from between his pecs for a PSA for Conservation International to raise awareness about the effect of deforestation on global warming.

Jane '08

A candidate you won't want to miss...Jane just decided to enter the race.
