Vision, empathy, and a cell phone

From TED: “This beautiful video titled “Mankind is No Island” recently won first prize at Tropfest NY. Directed by Jason van Genderen, it was shot entirely on a cell phone with a budget of $57.” Creativity and artistic vision trump big budgets and fancy gear (again).

    I found the “Mankind is No Island” video quietly powerful. It gently reminds me of my humanity to my fellow man… And that I can make a difference, even if it’s one person at a time.

  2. What an awesome production – a good filmmaker can do wonders with just about any equipment. Great soundtrack too …
