"What better way to gauge WhatOnEarthIsGoingOn? than to ask
'filmakas' around the world to answer 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 new talent from new places."
-David Alberts, Founder, WhatOnEarthIsGoingOn?
We received almost 100 entries from across the globe, in every style -
