Haiti documentary garners attention at film festival
As CURE’s Multimedia Producer I have shot in some pretty interesting places. My passion is telling the stories of the kids CURE has healed. I enjoy every minute of working in the barrios and villages.
One of the toughest shoots I ever had was when I went to Haiti a week after the earthquake. I was there solely to tell the world the selflessness and compassion that our employees poured out to the folks in Haiti. That story was told in the short documentary we made about their work.
“Born for This Moment” was accepted to the Lights. Camera. Help. film festival in Austin, TX, which will be starting this week. The presence of “Born for This Moment” at the festival has been noticed by others as well, including slackerwood.com, a website devoted to the film community in Austin. You can read the slackerwood.com article here: http://www.slackerwood.com/node/2334
“Born for This Moment” will be playing at Lights. Camera. Help. later this week. If you can’t make it to Austin, you can see the film here: http://cure.org/haiti-movie/. Or, send us an email and we can mail you a DVD copy of the film.
Born for this Moment is a documentary film created by CURE that chronicles our response to the earthquake. Now, Born for this Moment has been named an official selection for the 2011 “Lights. Camera. Help.” film festival for nonprofit and cause-driven films. As an organization, CURE is deeply honored to have Born for this Moment included in the film festival. We are even more pleased that a wider audience will be able to see the hard work of Bryce Alan Flurie, our multimedia producer, who edited the film and shot much of the footage, as well as Dale Brantner, Gerry Straub, and Mitch Hood, who also contributed to the film.
