Follow The Leader + Reality Check Interactive – Kickstarter fundraising campaign
July 19th, 2012 by Mr. C
“POLITICS ISN’T JUST CHILD’S PLAY”
Here’s your chance to get involved with the ranks of social change by collaborating with a refreshing new documentary (actually 7 years in the making) called FOLLOW THE LEADER and the social media project associated with it – REALITY CHECK INTERACTIVE! The filmmaker – Jonathan Goodman Levitt is almost ready to share his vision with the world but needs a little bit of help getting the film finished and released before the 2012 Presidential Elections. His kickstarter campaign can be found here. Back this project! It’s for a good cause and will serve as a vehicle of inspiration for the future leaders of America.
FOLLOW THE LEADER is a real-life coming-of-age story about three 16 year old Class Presidents with a dream…a dream about making change in our country by getting involved in politics with the aspirations of being President of the United States someday. Through their 3 year journey in High School, they would branch off into Republican, Democratic, & Independent camps as we follow along with their experiences like a fly on the wall.
REALITY CHECK INTERACTIVE is a cross media project that uses the film FOLLOW THE LEADER to provoke more meaningful political dialogue during the 2012 election season. REALITY CHECK will first be implemented as a live event but then be translated for simultaneous online participation and will eventually become an on-demand experience for participants on their computers. The ultimate goal is to open up conversation with like minded individuals to make social change!
The technical specification of REALITY CHECK is described from the press release below:
The basic format for the 2-hour experience breaks the feature documentary into five episodes (Right From the Start; Standing Out; Choosing Sides; Shifting Dreams; and Living History) that alternate with collective interactive experiences of roughly 10 minutes each. Answering questions via provided interactive keypads (or via computer or mobile devices), participants’ collective responses – about the film’s characters, politics, and other topics chosen by participants themselves – are displayed for everyone, anonymously in real-time. Split along various demographic lines, the reality of what people think can then be grappled with by participants through facilitated discussion.
So in short, show support for the FOLLOW THE LEADER & REALITY CHECK INTERACTIVE kickstarter campaign – the future for our nation will benefit from the resources and projects just like this.
