Funded! Help three #Occupy TV spots reach millions more on national TV
UPDATE:
We reached our initial goal, but keep pledging! Additional pledges will go to reaching even more people on National TV.Let's take even more messages of the #occupy movement directly to millions of Americans by getting the videos below on mainstream TV and as targeted online video ads on YouTube.
After successfully raising $6,278 in pledges for the first Occupy TV spot, which is airing on national TV beginning the weekend of Nov 5th, the same team of filmmakers continued to make even more spots, and is looking for support for their work and to reach millions more. Of the $15,000 goal, $5k will go to pay for the production that went into these 3 amazing 30 sec spots, and $10k will go to pay for the national TV media buy to reach millions. THE MORE WE RAISE, THE MORE TIME WE'LL BUY ON AIR.Why should we get these on TV?
The mainstream media doesn't get it. They're trying to discredit the #occupy movement as bunch of uninformed extremists who don't know what we want. But, we know who we are and we know what we want: we're a big, diverse movement that's fighting for an economy that works for all of us, not just the top 1%. Let's take these threee 30 sec videos from YouTube and amplify them on cable TV. Let's break through the media barrier and keep spreading the movement. If enough of us chip in a little bit, we can help these diverse and clear 30 second spots reach people who we can't reach through social media. NOTE: if you only want to support one or two of these ads, that is absolutely fine. We are going to email all contributors before we make the media buy, asking them which ones they want their picture and money attached to.Who are we?
These videos were shot in New York City and Washington and produced by director David Sauvage and composer Glenn Grossman. Also jumping in was Sauvage's longtime friend and colleague Ted Markovic, who provided them with additional support to make this happen. In addition to this LoudSauce campaign for the media buy, please consider engaging with the Facebook community for Occupy Spots to share thoughts and feedback on future 15 and 30 spots for the movement.
