Flipping the Switch is a story that has been about 10 years in the making. A very personal journey to bring Florentina's message of hope and faith in humanity even in the darkest of times to the screen.
Since hitting the ground running May of 2011, we shot footage of Florentina for a couple of different trailers, one was shown during Ojai Film Festival. Florentina is very comfortable in front of the camera proving she can take direction and perform during a full days test shoot at a local sound stage.
The process came to a screaching halt a couple of months back for a number of reasons, most relevant was the film budget and lack of subsequent funding. And...I ran out of money.
This "hiccup" while disappointing to the point of frustrating me to a ball tears on occasion, opened the doors to meeting new folks in the industry. They are working with me to form a intimate team that resonates with my overall vision in telling our story, bringing that needed trust to help us move the film forward to reality.
On my quest to bring this most important message to life, time has not been lost. I have been busy re-writing the script, revised the budget to a more friendly number and am in process of launching 2 major fundraisers; for which I need alot of help. :-)
I wrote and Florentina illustrated "What's a Bafoodle?" currently available as a full color downloadable printable e-book, and am in preliminary stages of writing "Florentina Creates Oneness Through Art" which will include "Oneness Art Trading Cards" - that all tie into our Oneness through Art Movement.
I am asked often how folks can be a part of the Oneness....In part>>>
First; Please tell everyone you know about our film project and ask them to purchase and download our Book What's A Bafoodle? then share a copy with their local educators.
Next:
If you are a seasoned motion capture/animator who can make Florentina's airplanes fly across the screen and crash into the dark side of humanity turning her to dust, and would like to be a part of a very special film, and you are open to donate your time on the front end, I want to hear from you!!
We need folks who can donate their time to send out individual emails (pre-written with contact lists provided) to various non-profit groups and schools regarding the Oneness through Art Movement, the book, film and more. Any amount of time is appreciated!!
We need a website developer who has the time to donate their services to build us a turn key website with a shopping cart that we can maintain. We have our own servers with URL's already set up. Building in Wordpress would work perfect too!!
Social media king or queen? Please sign up to be a part of our Social Media e-Street Team and help us spread the Oneness through Twitter and all that jazz!!
There are a number of other opportunities to donate your talents to our projects, please reach out and tell us about how you can help us!
To everyone who has shown and continue to give their support, I am forever grateful and thankful you continue to be there for us in Oneness!!
Peace, Love and Oneness, Andrea
