One Day on Earth began in September 2008 as a new media project to create a unique video time capsule, global online community, and feature length film—all from participant footage captured during the 24-hour period of October 10, 2010. Founder/Director Kyle Ruddick and Executive Producer Brandon Litman established the project as a shared archive, allowing all participants to create their own edited interpretation of the world. Producer/editor Michael Klima will help manage the post-production process. A project of the Creative Visions Foundation, One Day on Earth is also working closely with several non-profits and NGOs to document important social issues and the diversity of global culture on 10.10.10.
The project is free and open to all people, cultures, beliefs and nationalities. With thousands of filmmakers representing over 200 countries – ranging from teenagers using cell phones to Award winning cinematographers with HD cameras – the unprecedented scope of video captured on this day will be viewable through an innovative online archive system and a feature length documentary that explores our planet’s identity, slated for 2011.
One Day on Earth has also created an interactive online community for its participants powered by Ning, the leading online platform for the world’s organizers, activists and influencers. Members are encouraged to connect with one another from all corners of the planet, sharing their thoughts, photos and videos to spark a larger global awareness and consciousness. For some, the online community has inspired international collaborations, expanding the depth of stories being shared.
