Holiday Updates
2014 has been another busy and productive year for Land of Opportunity. We received recognition (thank you, Webbys), launched a new category to the platform (Community/Commodity) as well as a new interactive timeline (Katrina/Sandy). It’s also been a busy and fun-packed year of showcasing the project around the nation, with screenings, demos, and workshops in places like Chicago, Washington DC, New York, Denver and New Orleans.
As a collaborative project at the core, we also delight in the success of our many talented partners, who really knocked it out of the park this year in terms of getting their amazing work out into the world. These are a few highlights:
Sandy Storyline
Our partners at Sandy Storyline recently partnered with the New York Public Library to curate an interactive display in recognition of the two year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. Read more about the display here, and learn more about Sandy Storyline “here“http://www.sandystoryline.com/.
Gaining Ground
The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative celebrated their 30th anniversary of Boston neighborhood revitalization with a community screening of Gaining Ground. View the work of DSNI profiled in the interactive short “This Land is Our Land.”
Big Charity
The folks behind the feature documentary film Big Charity, excerpted in the interactive short “The Life and Death of Charity:http://landofopportunityinteractive.com/#/video/life-and-death-charity”, took home the Jury Award for Best Louisiana Feature at the 2014 New Orleans Film Festival.
Holiday Gifts
Naughty or nice, there’s something in the Land of Opportunity merch store for everyone (this NOLA pup agrees), so pick up a DVD or t-shirt for you and your family. And remember that donations and purchases are instrumental to sustaining this project; thank you!
