We need your stories – post them here!
GUEST BLOG ALERT!!! Colin William chimes in!
Colin William, one of the finalists of the 2008 World Championships of Public Speaking, sent us a pretty amazing account of his experience with the contest. I’ll waste no time with my own words. Great to hear from him! Here ya go:
“I never knew it would become so all-consuming.
I was one of the contestants in the 2008 WCPS, filmed by Paul and Brian and their crew. When you watch the movie you’ll see bits of me.
I haven’t seen the movie, so I don’t know what to expect, but there’s one thing I hope it captures – the sheer insanity of it all. See, that version of me that you’ll see on the screen isn’t so much me as it is a man possessed.
Like most contestants, I entered with the hope that I’d contend, but never seriously thinking I’d make it all the way to the final. I did, though, and along the way I experienced something I never expected – the thrill, the fear, the excitement, the pressure and the insanity of competition.
2010 Toastmasters World Championships of Public Speaking
Yup, I shall be asking this question over and over until I get an answer. I’m persistent that way. We’re obviously very curious to see who will be holding this trophy as the World Champion of Public Speaking in August. This was Lance Miller…
The World Championships of Public Speaking
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.)
Pictures!!
We’ve put up some pictures in the… wait for it… wait for it… “PICTURES” part of speakeasythemovie.com. Joshua Pickering has been our still photographer and overall moral guiding voice for the filmmakers throughout the life of the film- talking us down from anxiety attacks and enabling sugar binges and giving Brian neck massages while whispering soothing words of comfort in his ear. OK, maybe just the still photographer part. Yet we think he captures some fantastic images and we’re really proud he’s been a part of this. Awesome pictures, even better dude. Much respect, Brotha Pickering.
Enjoy!
