In March of 2009, I decided to make a film for raising awareness on water issues around the World. On starting this project I believed that all I would need would be a MacBook Pro, a good/handy video camera, some money and myself to make this film. I was wrong.

Yes, I am making a film about water, but you don’t just go out and start filming the first river you see. You need a lot of research done, accounting, organizing and more. So much was needed for the project and it just never seemed to stop coming. But the most important realization I had: I definitely needed a team.

It’s nearing the end of December 2009, and it has been 9 months since the birth of this project. I have been in the United States traveling to different cities connecting with people and organizations and also promoting the film project. I have had the opportunity of meeting people from the cities that I traveled in and it is awesome to say that the project is growing. It’s so encouraging and exciting. More people have volunteered and are willing to help with the project than I ever expected.

So far, 35 people from 15 countries (Germany, India, Lebanon, Madagascar, The Netherlands, Nigeria, Samoa, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela) have made an impact on the Pursuit of Water project! Isn’t it amazing?

From now on, I don’t want to call it my project; it is OUR PROJECT!

p.s. and… there’s a space for you! volunteer + you can do something
