There are 50,000 new amputees in Haiti as a result of the earthquake.
Here is a new video I made for them:
how was this video made?
The in-studio portion of this video was filmed by the Video Production Class at Yorktown High School here in my hometown of Arlington, Virginia. That’s me with members of the Video Class in the gym at Yorktown High.
Eli, Nicole, Molly, and Nick (left to right) set up to record me this week in the studio.
I met these students when I gave a motivational speech at their school. Here I am at that speech.
(If you’ve read my book you might recognize this picture from the photo insert.)
how we are sharing it with Haitian amputees?
This project was the brainchild of Luc Castera (above), a Haitian born entrepreneur who also lives here in Arlington. He saw my videos on YouTube and thought my message would be an encouragement to those affected by the earthquake.
Luc has arranged for the video to be dubbed into Haitian Creole and shown as part of the Cinema Under the Stars, a mobile outdoor movie theater that brings entertainment and inspiration to rural Haitian communities.
Our amputee video will be shown to tens of thousands of Haitians during 260 showings in 52 communities on Cinema Under the Stars’ current tour.
