CONFIDENTIAL DO NOT FORWARD “What better way to gauge WhatOneEarthIsGoingOn? (on MSN) than to ask ‘filmakas’ around the world the question in a series of short films. As a creative director born in the land of the boomerang, it is not surprising that I have always enjoyed throwing ideas out there and seeing what comes back. Filmaka is a wonderful open source way of accessing new ideas and talent from new places.” - David Alberts, Founder, WhatOnEarthIsGoingOn? “The output of versatility and creativity that was realized out of the project was amazing and the clips a pleasure to watch. It´s great to discover and support young talent by working with Filmaka.” - Susanne Degn, Head of Content, Red Bull Media House
