35 Laptops Project

Contributor: Luke Renner

Producer / Director / Cinematographer / Editor: Luke Renner

The following short video was filmed and edited to show North American donors a more positive angle of what Haiti can look like while raising awareness for a Beyond Borders Florida educational project. Apart from the details of this specific promotional pitch, please consider this piece on its emotional and visual merits.

*See below to explore the exciting possibility of working with this model.

THE PITCH:
Consider the possibility of generating a 13-episode television program that travels around Haiti exploring all of the beauty (cultural, natural, historical, human, etc). This program would be hosted by a regular set of young and energetic Haitian "personalities" (one male - one female - yet to be named). Hosts should speak in Creole and have a general artistic and social sensibility.

THE GOAL:
The purpose of such a program would be to support a sense of national pride by connecting with both the population of Haiti as well as with the diaspora. In an effort to attract tourism once more, Haitians must once again begin to believe that Haiti is in fact "too rich to be poor." This television program explicitly supports that directive in a compelling and vivid way.
