On October 10, 2010 (10.10.10), across the planet, documentary filmmakers, students, and inspired citizens recorded the human experience over a 24-hour period and contributed their voice to the largest participatory media event in history.

Founded in 2008, ONE DAY ON EARTH is creating an online community, shared archive, and film. Together, we are showcasing the amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occur in one day. We invite you to join our international community of thousands of filmmakers, hundreds of schools, and dozens of non-profits, and contribute to this unique global mosaic. One Day on Earth is a community that not only watches, but participates.

I wanted to be part of this project and so I decided to shoot footage of what I was doing on that day. Nothing was pre-planned and everything was shot handheld on a Canon 550D.  This is the film I submitted to the project.

Since then I have been contacted by Daniel Lichtblau of the One Day on Earth Project who said –

Thank you again for contributing to the One Day on Earth project! After reviewing thousands of participants’ videos, we believe that your footage in particular stands out-and we believe it could be a great addition to the One Day on Earth documentary film.

This is great news and I can’t wait to see my footage included in the final documentary.
