Well...I don't think you'll be needing my help getting this on tv will you. GL anyway.

I'm so glad it's not some other bloated belly, flies in the face piece. Thank you.

what a Powerfull story - - Education and Health are truly the keys in changing lives - - Hope you get the additional Exposure for your story...........got my GL.....When you have a minute - please review "The Kitchen Killer" - a POD on indoor air quality/burns associate with Open Flame Cooking and a simple low cost solution.

Uplifting, beautifully shot & edited. GL

Nice soundtrack too.

Check out Sister Beatrice Explores if you get a chance. An Instructor with her own POV

really good story. there needs to be more pods like this, informing us of things in far away places. some interviews/points of view from the students might make it more diverse and have more of an impact.

I know some one form this country .now i knew what he went through to learn

Thank you for the comments and the GL. We shot about 26 hours of footage and this spot was put together as a brief preview for a meeting that Longitude had last week with a local funding agency. The non-profit Longitude www.golongitude.org was started by my good friend Shawn and his wife and my partner Jessica Jennings and I volunteered our time and resources to go to Ghana for 10 days to produce this for Longitude. We are working on a more complex, layered piece that will have more detail and interviews (current & former students and employers). I will keep you up to speed on its progress as we move forward with this piece.
Thanks again,
John L

Great piece!

Good piece. GL.

terrible! nice piece.

Excellent! An inspiration! Two nights ago a went to hear Paul Hawken speak at the open of his book tour of his book..."Blessed Unrest" whic "reveals a worldwide grossroots moevement of hope and humanity" These are the moments that keep me going in this very twisted state of the globe. If you get a moment..Our pod is... <a href=" http://www.current.tv/watch/22233281">link</...

Nice piece. I would have liked a little bit of explaining in the begining where we are what were doing who this guy were talking to. I know you explain that in the description. But I think a bit needs to be in the pod, you could put text over the intro bit showing the kids, doesn't need to be a lot, I might have missed it with his accent. I thought it was a well shot piece, I liked the interviewe detication. I wouldn't have minded listening to a students point of view, but it is still strong with out it.

GL

I'd love you here what you think about our piece "Xtreme Waste"

Cheers Talbott

Great images, creative shots, good montage in the beginning--well done! It wasn't quite clear exactly how the project is related to the US organization though. I'd also have liked to have seen more interviews with other people. The images of the old typewriters were incredible though. Like that one, really all the shots were well thought out in terms of lighting, angles, etc.

Good work! GL!

Thanks for the encouraging words. My ascent was methodical, but it's all about putting out something some people will find interesting and making sure you make your rounds here daily. It may take a minute, but keep giving your honest critique and not just a, "Looks good...check out my pod", and people notice you. With that, I wish you good luck. My next goal is to skip this whole process and go straight to tv.

Great work..gl
such a clean video.

check out "Art of War" and B-Green"

thanks

All I can say..Life is special...and so it should be..

Great production value, especially crisp audio.

Beautifully and simply done, which I love.

Thank you!

Takes me back ... there is a nostalgia and a sadness that it is the same struggle in so many areas of Africa. Absolutely beautiful, wonderfully edited. I look forward to more.

This is an amazing story! I am shocked it hasn't been picked for TV yet. Good work - GL!

Please check out "SF Die In" when you get a chance: <a href=" http://www.current.com/watch/28212029">link<...

love the photography, editing strong and smooth.
touching and articulate story about this environment.
beautifully told.

Great piece ! It is always inspiring to see someone make use of Education . So cool that they're using those old typewriters....it makes for a great visual feeling~ nice!

Very nice. I liked it a lot

The smiles are much brighter in the darkest parts of the world. Good piece.

visual. beautiful. I have forgotten what a Diphthong is.

WOW! This is great! Lighting is good, composition is perfect, sound is nice and clear, and most importantly, it got a really good story. Just looking at the main character guy gives me some hope... What a beautiful person! This one really has to be aired on TV!!! GREENLIGHT!!!

This is very well done and perfect for Current. Great work.

If you get a chance check out our pod S.F. Die In: <a href=" http://www.current.com/watch/28212029">link<...

this was awesome your brilliant keep doing what you do

Just noticed my comment never made it on the board. So here again, thanks for the comment on my pod, African School Dream. Sega is about one hour
East of Accra, near Ada Junction. Really like the cinematography in your pod, very well done. Would like to know more how the organization is helping those in Ghana, I really wish I could do something more. GL.

Your pod is very inspirational. It reminds us that there is so much that can be accomplished when we help one another. Thanks for sharing this positive message. Excellent produciton values. Good luck with this pod, and with all your future productions. GL from me.

When you have a moment, please take a look at my latest pod <A HREF=" http://www.currenttv.com/watch/57173461">BIG BUGS</A> , and let me know what you think about this reverse perspective on the world. Thanks!

that is true love. gl.

Considering the professional level of this production, and the look and feel you applied in all aspects of it, this has definitely turned into a very strong voice for this organization, which very likely could be spread out in film festivals and such. The message of coming together for the benefit of others is definitely worth to be shared with very large audiences. We definitely need more of those positive takes on life out there.

I am also trying to share a positive message with my work, which has to do with the preservation and conservation of the natural world around us. It would mean a lot to me to get your critique on it. Please take a look at my <A HREF=" http://www.currenttv.com/watch/57173461">pod<... when you have a minute. Thanks!

I'm glad to have learned about such a great organization. The type writers were fun to see. I too learned to type on a type writer. I made a pod about cultural differences in the market. My pod is called <a href=" http://www.current.tv/watch/73997402">Momma, I'm Scared</a>. I filmed the pod in Thailand.

My friend Bill once lost the presidency of his forth grade class because he voted for his best friend instead of himself and lost by one vote. So he has vowed to never again -- not vote for himself . So with that said --- I have to evoke that "Bill Peppes rule" and give myself a Green Light.

Fantastic work! I love the visuals and your audio made the pod happen! = GL!

Nice work. Clean production. GL
This message applies to all of us. The footage and music makes me homesick for West Africa.

Having spent some time in Ghana myself, I just love the sounds of the voices and the music, but the message, of the satisfaction one can get from helping others, is great too.

Excellent footage, I really enjoyed the opening sequence of song. I think we received a very decent opinions from informed individuals in the field. On principle alone green light, beyond that it has excellent production quality. Good luck.

Please check out my first pod: We Create <a href=" http://www.current.tv/watch/25802022">link</...

Much Thanks,

This is a very intriging piece. Many people have criticized Oprah for building a school in Africa for young African women. Once you view this pod, you understand why it was and still is necessary.
