In honor of our upcoming show at The Sundance Film Festival 2012, I'd like to start making art regarding the theme of Independence. You can record a testimonial of your thoughts regarding this topic but more importantly, you can contribute a short story, an illustration, a song or even make a short film. Anything that regards the idea of Independence.  


We will then take these pieces and put them together in a clever, funny, entertainingly way and intersperse them throughout our show while bringing up audience members to share their thoughts. 


Independence is the theme that is running throughout our show. Not only because it's the Sundance Film Festival but also because all of the projects that we are working on embody this topic in their own way. 


 


Here are some ideas regarding Independence to think about: 



  • The Sundance Film Festival showcases Indy Films.  What is Indy when it comes to art and business? 

  • A child's life can lead to independence, independence from their parents as an adult. 

  • And as an adult, Independence changes and one can become codependent.  Codependent in a relationship or with other things. 

  • Political independence. 


Let's get this conversation started early shall we!


Thanks again,


<3

This is the version of Morgan M. Morganson's Date with Destiny that screened at Sundance 2010. Throughout the festival, this is the one we'd show as our example. Whenever anybody asked, "what is hitRECord?" this was my answer: "Here, watch this short film we're making; you'll never believe who did it and how!"

Albert proposed an off-kilter writing exercise, and then Metaphorest's beautifully strange short story inspired it all. I read the story aloud, Jenyffer.Maria started drawing the characters, Tori animated Jen's drawings, Lula and I did a live-action rendition, Lawrie Brewster took the project to soaring heights with his gorgeous visuals, and along the way there was the help, encouragement and roughly 180 contributions from throughout our community. We brought it to Sundance, and Nathan coaxed the lush and vast music out of the newly coined hitRECorchestra. (Good_Girl_Indie has written out a fabulously detailed timeline documenting what happened and when along this RECord's progression.)

Not only did we close our (two) official hitRECord screening(s) in the New Frontier Microcinema with this piece, but the next day, Sundance added it as a short film to play before the award-winning feature HOMEWRECKER on a much bigger screen.

I actually watched the thing again just now. And I can whole-heartedly say that, besides the progressive methodology with which it was made, and besides the warm reception it received at Sundance, just purely as a little piece of art, as a short film, as a RECord -- I'm as proud of Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny as I am of any work I've ever done.

Thank you, everyone, for making it all happen!
and thanks again...
