1 VideoIntermezzo Despite the fall of Communism in Romania twenty years ago, people are still afraid to express how they feel or who they are. In this film, boy meets boy for a transaction. Made by Stefan Botez, 24, and Aleca Grigore, 20, Bucharest, Romania. The inspiration for making this short film came unfortunately from reality. I'm sure this is not something isolated, and this is what scares me/us the most. We try to raise questions more than point out a certain issue. 4/8/10 Free View In iTunes

2 VideoThe Legacy "What will be your legacy?" asks Cameron Ernst and Devon Feldmeth - otherwise known as "CDEF" - both 21 and seniors at the University of Southern California. They wrote "The Legacy" to raise the issue of how we create meaning in life in our journey in this lifetime, and making a difference in the world. They were impacted and inspired by the Invisible Children documentary and the movement based out of San Diego that is spreading awareness and raising funds to stop the war in Uganda and rescue child soldiers from the tyranny of LRA rebel leader Joseph Kony. Cameron served as Invisible Children Club President who was then succeeded by Devon. The two instantly connected through their passion for Invisible Children's cause and currently lead the movement at USC. The song "Legacy" was inspired by Invisible Children's Legacy Tour which is taking Ugandans across America to tell their stories and inspire others by asking "What is your Legacy?" 4/8/10 Free View In iTunes

3 VideoWar Pollution I'm an 18 year old student at a biological high-school in Vicenza, Italy. I'm active in a civil movement against the construction of a second US army base here, about 2km from the historic Palladio city center. Daily on the news I hear about people killed in war. War is the biggest machine of destruction, not only of human lives but also of nature and environment. The military pipeline is a subtle aspect of war. Three days after the accident authorities and media were minimizing the case. 4/5/10 Free View In iTunes

4 VideoLive and Let Live "Our inspiration for this song comes from our strong beliefs in equality that came from growing up in such a loving, accepting, tolerant home." Tiffany and Whitney are sisters who grew up in the Los Angeles area. Tiffany is a 24 year old UCLA graduate who majored in communications while minoring in Political Science. She has been working for the Americorps program City Year in LA for the past three years and will be attending law school to study public interest for this upcoming fall semester. Whitney just finished her undergraduate degree this week from UC Irvine, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Political Science. "We look at the current issues in America as a matter of civil rights; which leads us to feel that the way things are being dealt with just isn't right. The song is merely to reflect on all that America has been through and overcome and to stress the message of 'To each his own, live your life, do what makes you happy, and quit worrying about other people's lives and lifestyles. In other words, Tolerance.' Growing up immersed in musical theater, music has played such a huge role in both of our lives that it only seemed natural to combine our passionate political beliefs with such a beautiful, yet powerful artistic outlet, in the hopes to touch even one person's life in a positive way. Thank you for this opportunity!" 4/5/10 Free View In iTunes

5 VideoMake a Change Georgia Napolitano is 17 years old, and until recently lived in Austin, Texas. She was born in England, and has been singing since age 6. Recently, Georgia moved to LA with her family to pursue her dream of singing. Says Georgia, "I want to make a difference with my message and benefit the less fortunate children of the World. Make a Change was a song I wrote when I was 15 to raise money for water wells in Ethiopia. I founded Teens4Autism, and put on a musical concert at the Austin Music Hall to raise money and awareness about autism. 4/5/10 Free View In iTunes

7 VideoThe Terrorist Chad was at the mall with one of his good friends, named Mussadiq, when a few high school aged boys made some racist slurs. Mussadiq, who is usually quiet and cheerful, took these comments quite seriously, and it pained him to see how someone could be categorized in such an insensitive manner that he decided to make a short film about the incident. "I knew at once that this was going to be my Film Your Issue topic, and decided to make the film into a documentation of Mussadiq doing something normal (i.e., riding the bus), but being ignored or stared at like some sort of terrorist." Chad gathered a few friends to use as extras, and shot the film "in about 20 minutes." 4/2/10 Free View In iTunes

9 VideoWARNING: The Downfall of Society I made this video to take a hard look at the situation this great nation is currently in and its leaders' lack of responsibility to change it. I understand that we can't all agree on everything, but if we can just co-exist, that would be a big change. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

10 VideoUnplug Your Paranoia Unfortunately, the good intentions of the media are currently being destroyed by the dominant use of fear to communicate. The inspiration for creating my film, "Unplug Your Paranoia," began with frustration over hearing the infamous catchphrase "BREAKING NEWS" on television, only to find the panic-stricken words to be merely apart of an advertisement for a local news broadcast. Sensationalism does nothing but lock us from reality; we are deceived by such manipulative imagery and sounds that only exploit the outer limits of truth. Our eyes are instantly attracted to the red words that fill our screen; a habit caused out of nothing but pure fear and twisted intrigue. Having news segments open up with questioning the whereabouts of your child, a never-ending string of stories concerning death, or the bombardment of distasteful words and graphics are only a few of the many evil tactics that the media orchestrates daily. It is no wonder that thousands of people live in fear of near-impossible epidemics or homicidal strangers when their number one source of information prioritizes the use of fear to grab attention. The true purpose of all media should be to connect people, not to instill irrational forms of paranoia through exploitive ways. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

11 VideoUnnatural: A Zombie A survivor holds out long enough to record for the outside world how genetic modification of food brought about the zombie plague in the United States. Jessi Simek, 23, of Holley, NY, made this film because "frankenfood scares the everloving heck out of me. The process through which these foods are made and what exactly goes into them seems incredibly unsafe. We don't have enough data on what a lifetime of these foods building up inside our systems will do to our health." 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

12 VideoToxic Subway In the New York MTA subway you can see rust and lead which kids and adults are breathing in. I made this video to let the public see what is not seen on television, where you only see the train passing by every 5 minutes and you see every sidewalk clean but in reality it's all plain dirtiness. You can see lead and rust and kids and adults are breathing that in and nobody seems to be concerned. There are rats running around. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

13 VideoThumbs Down to Pity For entertainment purposes, many Hollywood movies portray people with disabilities as pitiful characters with lousy lives. It's as though if a character has a disability, then the disability is the most important part of their life and also a big part of the movie story. That is a very bad impression to give, in my opinion, because the pity the audience feels for a character often spills over into real life after the movie is over. I wanted to increase people's awareness of how it is bad for the audience (and bad for movie critics) to feel pity for people with disabilities. It's an issue that affects me as a person, and I wanted to do something about it. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

14 VideoThis is What You Paid To See/New Orleans for Sale The video was created by 2-cent, a group of New Orleans college students. We collectively make projects aimed at inspiring change within the young generation. Post-Katrina, we did a lot of projects in the lower 9th ward. We noticed a huge attraction of tourist coming to the city to take tours and snap pictures of the destruction. A lot of locals took offense to it as a freak show. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

15 VideoThink. Believe. Act. Using animation and rap-style music to encourage free thought versus groupthink under dictators and tyrants, this provocative film won the USA TODAY award for Ogden Utah student Hunter Saiz. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

16 VideoThe Tears Are Falling The chaos that has been occurring in Northeast Africa sparked an immediate response in my head for a possible issue to film. Many people don't know what exactly is going on and the purpose is to motivate people to become active. The more people that know, the faster the problem will be solved. The voice of this film is a girl who is from Africa and is doing schoolwork at Illinois State University. In deciding the voice, hers fit perfect. Not only is the accent present but it is also a woman. Woman and children are being killed everyday and the film has more of an impact with a female voice rather than a male. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

17 VideoSuper Mario Pollution It took us a while to think of what to make but then it hit me. I thought it would be really cool to create the whole Mario world from Nintendo out of just construction paper and then pollute his world towards the end. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

18 VideoStripped Away I've played trumpet since fifth grade, and it's always been a very important aspect of school for me. In seventh grade the school district levy failed and the high school that I was planning on going to cut 52 elective classes, including the entire art program. Band was still available, but only as a pay-to-play option. I decided to leave my friends behind and go to a private school so I had the opportunity to study art and be in the band, but to this day I haven't forgotten what it felt like hearing the news about the art program. It was death for all the kids who counted on the arts, either as simple stress relief or because that was the only thing they were ever good at. It's very sorrowful and horrifying that countless children across the country are deprived of these opportunities. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

19 VideoStrike It Up It appears that the willingness to strike up a conversation is evaporating among the younger generations of Americans. With Blackberries, laptops, cell phones, iPods, portable video games and dvd players, and magazines made for every interest imaginable, there's hardly a need to talk to strangers anymore. The entire scene is set in a train station. A shy fellow sits among many other travelers, although he appears quite isolated. Looking around for someone to talk to, he finds plenty of eyes- except they're all glued to newspapers, computers, TVs, etc. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

20 VideoStains 9/11 has been the catalyst in the lives of every American. For me, that day transformed war from a story in a history book to something real and alarming. I try to learn the motives behind why there is terrorism and why genocides occur and I find that people on both sides of the fence think that something good will come from the killing, that some ideal will be satisfied. However, all I have seen occur is death and destruction of people and the land that they live on. I wanted to make something that illustrated what I felt and hopefully add a small grain of sand on behalf of peace to the delicate scale of life. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

21 VideoRoe Vs. Wade Overturned The idea of what an abortion is and what it means, never occurred to me until someone close to me had one. Even with the social and political pressures, I wonder what it would take to make a decision like that. I began heavy research on what it was like before the choice was legal. Women were willing to go to great and even dangerous lengths to obtain an abortion. Why would they do this? Weren't they afraid of getting in trouble with the law? With their God? It occurred to me then, even more so when South Dakota put a ban on abortion, that making it illegal would just set back the clock. It wouldn't fix anything, it would probably make things worse. The images I show in the film are gruesome, dark, and upsetting for a reason. I wanted to express in images what if would feel like if the choice was taken away. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

22 VideoR-TV When i started to think about this movie I started imagining a guy running and film it in a Van Sant Elephant style or similiar to a Michael Mann with an action close-up camera. Then I started to figured out a story to tell that could be suitable to the filmyourissue theme. Of course violence and children came immediately to my mind. The big problem was finding someone to do it. Unfortunately I don't have many friend that like to perform for a camera but I managed to find 3 friends of mine that could fill in these three characters. For the music part I contacted a friend of mine that plays bass in a band and also likes to make his own sound. I told him to make it sound like Van Sant Finding Forrester, with its powerful sound but using less notes and no chords. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

23 VideoA Prostitute is Born I chose woman trafficking because it feels to me that it's a subject that has fallen out of the social agenda, that prostitutes are stigmatized and that makes their freedom less viable. I grew up in Ecuador and at the age of fifteen my family decided to immigrate to Israel. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

24 VideoPetals of Hope My film is about women's rights and how women are suffering all over the world. Although some of things you see in the film may have not directly happened to me, they have been done against my family, relatives, and friends and women around the world so when one woman is suffering, we all suffer. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

25 VideoOrphans in Africa Some years ago, I had edited someone else's footage from The Canaan Orphanage and produced a video for them, although never setting foot in Africa myself. Working so intensely with the home-video footage from this orphanage for countless hours was the inspiration for me to join the team and become a part of their annual trip during the summer of 2005. As part of the team, I taught at village schools, and used whatever free time I had to shoot footage, including interviews with the Canaan children and staff, many of which had to be done with insufficient sunlight. The challenge was to use the few minutes of light after the students returned home from school in the evening before the sun set. I did all of the cinematography (with little to no electricity for battery power), editing, directing, etc. for my "Orphans in Africa" film completely on my own. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

26 VideoOne Word The story behind my video submission is that with one word you can change the world. By carefully selecting what words you live your life by, you can make the world around you better for everyone. It was important for me to make this video because on a daily basis I am confronted with decisions that affect how I will react to what is going on in the world around me. Do I react with hate, anger, frustration, or grace? I pray everyday that we will all find the strength to make right choices in how we live our lives and realize that the decisions we make will affect someone that we do not even realize exists. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

28 VideoOn the Street While not trained as an animator, I certainly have a love and appreciation for it. The message of behind "On The Street" is very straightforward and can be understood on a universal level. The idea goes beyond the homelessness that we experience in our urban environments. With the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, people that had homes once are now homeless, and with no fault of their own. I chose to animate this film as opposed to filming it in live action because I could control the environment more. The drawings are composed with pastel, watercolor and pencil. This way each drawing is incredibly different than the other giving the film a "moving hold" look. Everything is from the man's point of view. He's watching the world go by with nothing or no one there to help him. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

29 VideoMove Your Feet I love film because of its ability to inspire people to act. I chose to make this film because the world suffer's from inaction. It is inaction that destroys the world. I drew inspiration from the Switchfoot song, "Love Is The Movement." Millions of faces / Are looking for movement / Cause everything's stuck And everything's frozen / And everyone's broken / And nobody moves / And everybody's scared / That the motion will never come -Switchfoot 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

30 VideoMad World This film was inspired by the song "Mad world" by Gary Jules. Polluting one by one would slowly be the Earth's demise. I composed my own music. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

32 VideoIt's the Buzz I presented It's the Buzz on the one-year anniversary of George Bush's re-election and I participated in a nation-wide protest demanding Bush step down. When I saw the herds of people who passionately gathered in solidarity against Bush, I filmed individuals asking them "why is this protest important?" A young man who was in the Army responded, "...we need to get rid of the entire direction this country is going in. The entire country is being misled, and people don't care because they have iPods and cable television! –Fuck that!" Another woman claimed that "if we can remind just one person, the average apathetic American that there's a war going on, then maybe we'll have progress." Their words never left me. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

33 VideoInnocence Lost I think one of the biggest problems in our society today is the destruction of the family. There are many things that contribute to destroying a family. One of these things is child m*********n (or sexual abuse) which has a huge effect on the immediate family, but also tends to cause a cycle effect for future families of those who have been affected in the past, allowing the problem to repeat over and over again. This is why I chose to make my film "Lost Innocence" on child m*********n/abuse. I hope to open eyes and ears, and bring a social awareness to this devastating problem in America and the world. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

34 VideoI Am Muslim Hear Me Roar I made this film when my professor Wayne Yang inspired me to explore my community of struggle, in this case Muslim Americans. Utilizing music as a medium, Muslim-American youth are expressing themselves, promoting tolerance, and creating awareness in the 21st Century. Through this film I wish to give a voice to a community that has been silenced over the years, and also to encourage other young Muslims to be productive and positive members of society. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

35 VideoI Am I've always said I don't make films because I want to. I make them because I have to. I saw an advertisement in Times Square for AOL Instant Messenger that had the phrases, "I am video chat, I am text messaging, I am AIM" flashing on large monitors overlooking the streets almost as a deity. It was almost an epiphanal moment when I saw this advertisement and understood that America is cultivating itself to be distracted from the problems of the world as we define ourselves by our technology. And I thought, what if we were all disconnected from our iPods? Would we pay attention more to what's happening to our government? Would the minority voices of the world be heard and no longer be dismissed like an animal? Maybe not. But just as that emphatic protester claimed, "if we can remind one person," that's all it takes. I am Brian Gonzalez and I have a voice that will be heard. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

36 VideoThe Hippocratic Oath My later childhood and adolescence was marked by the diagnosis of a psychotic thought disorder. I would be hospitalized against my will seven times over the better part of a decade and would have many unpleasant experiences. Those experiences taught me about the darker shades of human nature, the sins of power, and even that there were many stories that went unheard for a lack of anyone willing to listen. My understanding of these facts led me to conflict with the professionals who had power over me and my peers. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

37 VideoHigh School Drop Out My life completely changed after I moved from Guatemala to South Carolina at 17 years old. I managed to become fluent in English in 4 months before starting high school. I couldn't understand why so many of my classmates were dropping out of high school here in the USA. Wanting to do something about this matter, I created this short film. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

38 VideoGreen to Blue The Disney-esque stop-action film uses Bambi-like imagery to underscore the perils of global warming in a forest, and won the FYI Sierra Club/ Natural Resources Defense Council Award. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

39 VideoGod at Work So many churches. Yet so many people adrift. Maybe it's the institution of church, maybe it's god himself. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

40 VideoGive a Hoot, Bike Commute Our motivation to make the film spurred from our love for bikes. To us, bikes are very fun and practical, and a great means of transportation. We have embraced the activism to consume more moderately, and wanted to create a sincere message showing that it is important to start making conscious changes in our lives, and how it can be realistic to do so. Biking makes sense and works for us, and we want to see change where people are actively considering the environment and maybe try something new like getting on a bike, because if you don't sweat a little bit now, we may end up sweating it much more later. 3/25/10 Free View In iTunes

41 VideoGas This entry was geared to be comical, funny, but something that would make people think about...GAS! (...gasoline that is.) 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

42 VideoFoul Play Our film began not with a flash of inspiration but a long-standing concern about the way that we disguise human rights issues in political jargon. We obscure the human consequences beneath sophisticated and apathetic rhetoric. We speak of populations not people. Nothing is more relevant now than the debates surrounding gay marriage. We talk about the destruction of the American institution—marriage. We talk about the sacred union between man and woman. But we never speak about the implications of those words. We never make the link between our flippant dismissal of the "unnatural lifestyle" and the gay and lesbian couples who consequently suffer. There are very basic human implications to denying someone marriage that go beyond our neat terminology about financial, political and religious consequences. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

43 VideoFencers Basically, the inspiration for "Fencers" is this general apathy towards global issues. Most people don't want to get involved and just passively watch as important issues don't get resolved. The point being you have to get your hands dirty and participate or nothing will get accomplished. Fencing was the perfect metaphor for this statement, there's a lot of strategy and grace involved, it's not just a brutal fight to the death. You win one match you might lose the next, but it never ends and you have to constantly be thinking and active. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

I am a soldier of truth, I don't wield guns or grenade launchers, I fight with words and images that are thought-provoking and surreal, that really make you think and also revolutionize the way we watch, listen and, read all together. I want people to be able to fight for what they love and believe in. I want our children to learn so we don't keep repeating our mistakes. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

47 VideoDo It - A Roadside Tale I live in Tehran. My motivation to make the film is simple: to know the value of people around us when they are alive. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

48 VideoDisappearing I chose to create my 60 second piece on military spending because I feel that it is an issue that few people look at from different angles. It is easy to brush the issue of military spending off and say it is simply a necessity, but military spending has become excessive. We are putting millions of dollars into weapons and research with no purpose but destruction, which in effect takes away money that could be contributing to health, education and well being of the people of our country, and world. My piece is an attempt to bring to light what goes missing when we focus too much attention and money towards the military. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

49 VideoDemocracy I think the issue of democracy ( my film subject) that the president (Bush) laid out is an important issue but it isn't a cure-all like the president likes to proclaim. I think that the War in Iraq was sold to the American public like an advertisement and a very frightening one at that. The justification has switched from WMD to links to 9/11 to now democracy. The problem is that the president's expert marketing team can't just spin that democracy is a vaild reason to start a war. It's a ridiculous assertion in my view so I decided to make a ridiculous movie about how the current American government promotes democracy which is like it is Coca-Cola. I think the American public is tired of being spun by clever marketing and I for one am sick of all issues being simplified into short pity statements. Some things are too complex to explain in a sound byte. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

50 VideoThe Cry of Humanity The film is supposed to represent the worst in people, the things people don't want to see or ignore, to praise our army for going out and protecting us from this violence, and to spread awareness that no matter how much you forget the past, it still exists. "Why?" started as a joke by my brother Chris on the way to a party: he said, "Why don't we have someone standing in the middle of the street screaming, why? And, at the end, people have to make up their own meaning." We all laughed, and then went to the party, but at the party, Chris and Jon collaborated and expanded the idea and got a lot deeper. They told me the next day all the details, we all went out looking for locations to shoot, then the next day we shot half, the day after we finished, then I edited it all that night. All of this joyful madness of this competition and we heard about it FIVE days before the ending date by my Aunt. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

51 VideoCopyflights Problem with true author's rights protection directly concerns us. Too many people in our country don't think that such problems exist. Ideas are stolen by men-in-black and no one remembers your name. Unfortunately, this script is typical. That's why we choose this side of problem. We realize that social film has a power to change some things around. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

52 VideoBeyond Help On a quiet spring Saturday, my nails still dirty with Mississippi mud, my stomach desiring a nutritious meal, and realizing that these desires were remarkably similar if not verbatim to those needed by victims of Hurricane Katrina, I found myself slightly empty. Empty- like the gutted homes in Waveland. Empty- like many of the streets in St. Bernard's Parish, New Orleans. As time continued and my reflections on my spring break service experience in Waveland, Mississippi expanded, the cause of this reaction became apparent. In facing the destruction again in visual form and in my memories, I find that I cannot sit still and simply vocally retell the hours of stories. The decision to create an animated world is the result of wanting to create a fluid piece that would transport the audience to a vivid place. I wanted to take the journey into a teenager's thought process and behaviors in an alternative medium. Modifying the real-time film process and utilizing drawing, I tried to create a slightly uncomfortable and "imperfect" visual portrait of this disturbed girl. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

53 VideoArt Slap I am the 2nd oldest in a family of 4. I was born in Buenos Aires, lived in Patagonia for a good majority of my life, but now I'm back in the city. I graduated from the University "Film Center" in Barcelona, Spain, with a Bachelor of Scriptwriter and Directing Cinema Studies. I believe that film is a great media outlet to cause social change within our society. I think one of the biggest problems in our society today is people without a home. This is why I chose to make my film "Art Slap!" on homelessness. I hope to open eyes, ears and hearts, and bring a social awareness to this devastating problem in America and the world. 3/24/10 Free View In iTunes

56 VideoThe LIFE Vasile Dediu's Award-winning 3-D animation for the 2008 edition of Film Your Issue. Vasile was born in the Republic of Moldova, and was 19 when he made this film, while a student at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington. "We must remember that "Wish" is a strong power - a real strong wish can change the world. My name is Vasile Dediu, 19, born in the Republic of Moldova. My country can not offer to its citizens a good future. I came to the USA two months ago. My 3D-film is about a boy who saw that life is dark because of four issues: "Poorness", "Violence", "Homeless animals" and "Crime". He wished strongly to change the world. I made this film in order to show that a real strong wish can change the world. We must remember that "Wish" is a strong power. Life is like a battlefield, where only strong souls can survive." 3/10/10 Free View In iTunes
