THE 1 SECOND FILM ARRIVES IN AUSTIN

Please peruse this press release for info on this one-night only, October 11th event:<--break-->

The 1 Second Film’s Road to Oprah tour is set to arrive in Austin, Texas on October 11th where they will be presenting and performing at the Brentwood Tavern (6701 Burnet Road) at 7 PM. Everyone is welcome, including pets, to come see the Road to Oprah road show (www.roadtooprah.com) and learn more about this international, collaborative art project/film. There will be live music by the popular Los Angeles-based folk/Americana band The Evangenitals (www.evangenitals.com), who are traveling with the documentary crew on the Road to Oprah tour and composing music for the documentary, and a presentation detailing the collaborative effort to change the world one second and one dollar at a time. Attendees of the event will have the opportunity to appear in the film’s “making of” documentary and to play with the band. Admission is free.

The 1 Second Film is a grassroots non-profit collaborative film that anyone can produce by donating $1. From Kiefer Sutherland to Kevin Bacon, thousands of producers from around the world are chipping in to help make a film that makes a difference... will Oprah? That is the question the filmmakers and accompanying folk band are prepared to drive 10,000 miles to find out. Starting October 5th of 2007, The 1 Second Film crew will embark on a 10,000-mile journey across America in pursuit of a dream. Their dream: to unite the world through collaborative art making while addressing various social-issues. The 1 Second Film's road-trip ends in Chicago, where they hope to meet Oprah and ask her to join the producers of The 1 Second Film by donating $1. Along the way they will be visiting Universities, high schools, house parties, night clubs, skate parks, and even Veteran's nursing homes to present their 5 Phase Plan to bring the world together, one-second at a time. The full Road to Oprah road show schedule can be viewed at: www.roadtooprah.com/map.
