Falling Together in New Orleans won an audience award for the 2007 ConvergeSouth Film Festival!

We spent a weekend at the ConvergeSouth conference in Greensboro, NC. One of the first things our colleagues and friends Dan Conover & Janet Edens (married) said when we first met was that we needed to attend this show. Dan totally made it happen (We still owe him for the hotel room) and it was a pretty amazing experience.

FTNO Vignette Three: Emergency Communities in the Lower 9 was a feature of the ConvergeSouth Film Festival and screened to a large and very media-savvy audience. The movie was very well received (the winner of the audience award is announced next week...) and it was nice to see responses from industry leaders that our work has a unique style and ability to reach people effectively on important subject matter.

The screening opportunity was created by a new mistress of OPP communications and PR - Kerri Glover (we came to terms on working a project together as we were taking a cab from LaGuardia to JFK and she had booked this gig by the time we landed in Amsterdam...pretty quick work). Kerri has worked for Clinton-Gore, has been a presidential cabinet press secretray, managed PR for the Sierra Club, written for Huffington Post and launched several international technology businesses in her previous life. She is also one of the easiest people to be around I have ever met.

Some 2007 ConvergeSouth highlights for Mitchell:

Very inspiring....Something like this would be great in Charleston!
