Fresh off an Obama Organizing Fellowship in the swing state of Missouri, I am (working...quickly! :-) ) to raise funds to produce a documentary film -- FROM DENVER TO NOVEMBER -- about the netroots, its impact on Presidential politics and the potential for a brand new model of social change under an Obama administration.

Evidence -- plus my own intuition / experience -- suggest an Obama administration can deliver a new model of social change: a parallel path coordinating top-down governmental change with unprecedented community action, efficiently enabled by web technology, social media, and where both citizen activists and citizen journalists play vital roles.

If you or someone you know may consider investing in this documentary, please VIEW THE TREATMENT and/or email willow@smallplanetpartners.com or call Willow at 816.914.1490.

• Total production budget is $100K.
• Only $25K is needed to cover the Denver shoot.
• Full or partial investments feasible.
• Clearly, time is of the essence.

Contingent on investment level and not compromising the editorial quality of this project, benefits may include :

• Revenue sharing
• Investment referral fee
• Producer / Executive Producer credit
• Product Placement
• Casting, as netroots historians, experts, advocates and naysayers will round out the perspective
• Breathing life into a project that's both important and meaningful

What might a new model for social change look like? Let's take Missouri, for instance, as one example of the unique challenges each state confronts. For decades public education has plagued the state of Missouri so much so that parents move to Kansas when children reach school age.

Obama already has demonstrated the intent, tools and faculty [1] to peel off layers of a complex, persistent problem – and efficiently coordinate and mobilize education policy experts, Missouri citizens passionate about education, and invite netroots and NGO's (where there is tremendous redundancy [2]) to collaborate on solving real problems in their own communities.

We just may be “the change we seek” afterall.
