Hey everyone,

Our non-profit, The Collaboration Foundation, is one of 8 finalists in this months Ideablob contest!

We received enough votes to make it into the finals, now the votes get reset to zero, and we have one week to get the most votes. If we do, we will receive $10,000 to help build the Collaboration Foundation. This would be absolutely amazing, and make a huge difference in our ability to finish this film faster. Best of all, they give the winning idea the award via a GIANT Check! How great would that be???

We recently cleared 9,500 Producers and 10,000 Crew Member Mark! We have raised $264,812.18 with the help of thousands of people from 59 countries.

Here are some charts I put together for our Board of Directors meeting. Really helps to visualize the rate in which this project has grown.

This First Chart visualizes the # of producers over time (in Blue). After our site was automated in 2007, some people joined but have yet to donate (shown in Red).

Some key moments are also pointed out (getting listed on IMDb, getting featured on YouTube, etc). You can really see how our growth slowed down after IMDb decided to remove all of our crew credits. You can also see the spike achieved while on our Road to Oprah tour. Currently, most of our new online producers stumble across us on Wikipedia.Below is another chart showing money we have raised over time. This includes a lot of donated services and equipment.

My internet marketing blog now has a new addition... project "the 1 second film", or something like that...

I'm here to get people to donate money, by purchasing my internet marketing material like they would otherwise and donate the whole sum to "The 1 Second Film" as an executive producer....

The link for the project is "http://www.chrisstigson.com/The1SecondFilm!

If you can spread that link you may more easily get a few donations :)

I hope I can add value to the project..

Saturday we started painting our bus; before the volunteers arrived, I ran to the local hardware store to get supplies. By chance, I ran into Dr. Drew Pinsky from Loveline as he was buying lightbulbs. I have learned to carry 1 Second Film fliers with me everywhere I go just because of things like this. I introduced myself, gave him a flier, and told him about The 1 Second Film. Dr. Drew is a really nice guy- he thought the project was really interesting and wanted to become a producer on the spot! He chipped in $20, which I put toward the paint. :) Thanks Dr. Drew, and welcome to our crew!

Hi,

I thought it would be a great idea to offer items so we can show our support & to gain awareness! These items will create so much buzz!

Please know that all the money received through "zazzle.com" will go directly into the Producer Fund! Please email me if you have any questions, concerns or ideas!

Thanks!
Cathie

Well, I recently discovered that I could do this whole profile thing on here, too. So for those of you who don't know me well, even if you do know me a lot... hi! As you can see, I've given $11 to The 1 Second Film. The money goes towards the production of the film, which in turn the profits made will be donated to a charitable organization. So if you can, go ahead and donate through the donate link on this site, through PayPal. The transaction is easy, free, and is 100% safe and secure. And don't worry, this is NOT any kind of rip-off. I would never cheat anyone out of their money, so hear me when I say that I will not see a penny of your donation.
