>
> Dear Open Space Community
>
> Since videoing the OSonOSinOZ last November I have evolved a bold idea
> which, with encouragement from many people, I now have the confidence to
> present to you.
>
>
>
> My Plan
>
> I would like to make a round-the-world film trip, videoing the wide
> diversity of ways in which Open Space is used around the planet. This will
> result in several 'products':
>
>
>
> 1. a video or videos designed to be useful to OS practitioners in
> illustrating how OS works in practice in diverse situations (this may also
> form the basis of an interactive CD-ROM)
>
>
>
> 2. a television documentary or series to be sold to networks/cable TV in
> regions around the world
>
>
>
> Why do this?
>
> I believe Open Space, a modern incarnation of an ancient process, is
> intriguing and important, at many levels.
>
> I believe many people who could benefit from OS have never heard of it.
>
> I now understand OS is being used in a very wide range of situations
> around the planet, from small focused groups right through to very large
> corporations.
>
> I believe the full potential of OS has yet to be realised.
>
> I believe my videos may help.
>
> I believe this would be a fantastic resource for OS itself, plus a
> fascinating glimpse of a positive organisation in action.
>
>
>
> How will I fund this?
>
> The major production costs will include air and surface travel,
> accommodation and post-production. I have my own camera and digital edit
> suite, so most post-production costs will be for my time. Colour grading
> and online editing using high-end equipment may be necessary for broadcast
> and this will be a significant cost, depending on how many program/s are
> to be produced.
>
>
>
> I will shortly apply for a Churchill fellowship which would certainly help
> defray the travel costs. The deadline for submission is Feb 28 and they
> need a detailed itinerary as part of the application, which is why I need
> to move fast.
>
>
>
> I will also seek funds from the Royal Society for the Arts, of which I am
> a Fellow. Obviously neither of these funding sources is guaranteed,
> therefore...
>
>
>
> What I need
>
> I need two things:
>
>
>
> 1. an indication from people that they would like themselves and their
> work included. Obviously I can't go 'everywhere', but in typical OS
> fashion, this list will distill down to become my itinerary.
>
>
>
> 2. a commitment of some funds from any who care to - and are in a position
> to - contribute.
>
>
>
> For example, if 100 people contributed US$200 each, this would pretty much
> guarantee success. This investment should be seen as an investment in OS
> itself, and I guarantee to produce a professional-quality video for your
> own use.
>
>
>
> (I mentioned this as a possible strategy to Fr Brian Bainbridge in
> Melbourne and to Peggy Holman in Seattle. Peggy recommended it Anne
> Stadler in Seattle and - to my astonishment and delight - each responded
> immediately with a commitment of US$200 each to get things rolling!  They
> also, along with Michael Pannwitz in Berlin, committed assistance with
> some travel and accommodation in their respective cities. What an amazing
> group of people!)
>
>
>
> Why me?
>
> Obviously I won't clog up OSLIST with a CV etc, but if anyone would like
> more information about my credentials as a film maker I would be happy to
> supply them to you individually.
>
>
>
> In essence I have worked hard over the years to develop a filming style
> that allows me to work alone, with no other crew, no big lighting rigs, no
> rehearsals, no "take two"s, just good ole cinema verite style doco-making.
> You will be able to sample my wares when the CD-ROM of OSonOSinOZ is
> released (very soon now...).
>
>
>
> I established my company, imaginACTION, in 1988 as a company devoted to
> taking imaginative ideas and making them happen.
>
>
>
> I look forward very much to hearing from those of you who may be in a
> position to help the Bold Idea happen.

> Best regards, and special thanks to those who have offered support so far!
