If you love this universe — come out tonight to the Vancity Theatre in Vancouver! It's one of the new 'collection' from Mark Achbar of The Corporation. It's stunningly shot, extremely engaging and chillingly important.

Executive Producer Betsy Carson & narrator Mikela Jay will be in attendance. Writer Harold Crooks will host a Q & A.
So far Projecting Change Film Festival has been a blast. Check out the interview we did with Colette on the opening night. Colette Gunson is executive director of the festival, and our history with her goes back to when she worked with Hello Cool World for the launch of The Corporation. Most recently she helped us with our LACE PSA shoot, and a workshop we did with the BCNU.
Last night's LACE launch and party was a total success with many folks at the screening of "Chemerical" which was the feature doc that our LACE short films preceded. A discussion afterwards was accompanied by some eco-friendly cleaning product & cosmetic gift bags.
Last night some of us at Hello Cool World held our very first "Theory-into-practice Salon" more about that later...TODAY our LACE Campaign press release goes out to media, promoting our launch next Friday April 23, at 7 pm of the "It's What's Inside" PSA, and short film about the Action Team. It's premiering in front of the film "Chemerical" at the Projecting Change Film festival. Plus our ad goes into Elle magazine, and Lizzy continues to look for doughnut sponsors for our party. We met with our friends at Coop radio and W2 yesterday, to plan a party to celebrate our launch, W2's new space, and Coop Radio's 35th Anniversary & fundraising drive... So if you are in Vancouver on April 23 you want to MARK THE DATE....And if you can help us let us know! Email: outreach{at}lacecampaign.com

And corporate personhood...
