For all who’ve ever come to our site – Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. 2010 is gonna be amazing!!!
This has always been my favorite Christmas song. My two favorite… artistic movements, if you will, collaborating in a brilliant way. Cheers to all.
Oh, I like the version that’s coming together, Chris Leong. We have such an embarrassment of riches, really – so many hours (415!) of great footage, and yet we only have about 90 minutes to tell our story. Themes need to be condensed and crystal clear because there’s a lot of room to cover, and little time to do it. It’s such a huge contest – the World Championships of Public Speaking has 30,000 competitors in over 100 countries. I mean…. that’s pretty incredible, I think, and also pretty impossible to fully capture in a 90 minute documentary. So our heads are spinning, yet we’re getting there.
2010, peoples. What else is going on in 2010? Anybody got any big plans they want to leave in the comments section?
2010. The year we make contact. (I look at the star-child on this poster and imagine it being our film. I’m kooky like that.)
Yup – Chris is going to show us some public speaking documentary madness on Monday night. Should be an exiting Christmas present for everyone! Here’s hoping it’s not a lump of coal (I know it’s not).
It’s that time of year – we eat too much, drink too much, sing carols by the fire, party party party – and, once in awhile, get up and raise a glass to some folks and give everyone a little “thank you”. Anyone have a favorite toast? Cheers!!
to make a great speech. From the heart with people you love, telling them “thank you”. I wish I could make a documentary about these guys. It’s football fever time. More to come…
This dazzling crew of joyful, mirthful filmmakers – knee deep in a documentary film about the fear of public speaking and the 2008 Toastmasters World Championships of Public Speaking – are looking for some extra video clips of bad wedding speeches. Or bad presentations. We have some great speakers profiled, but we’re looking for some folks who get up and struggle. Send us some ideas! Comments section!! Join our community!!!
When giving a wedding toast, make sure this man is crying from happiness, not from misery because he chose you to give a speech.
