Do Your Best!
It’s time to start your holiday gift giving. I assume you are giving all of your loved ones memberships to film support organizations or community theaters, right? But there are some things that money can’t buy, and we should all make sure our giveaway goodie bag is filled with them.
This list are some of my gifts I have gathered specifically for you. I want to thank you for being part of this, for reading and contributing to this community. You appreciate. You support. You read. You share. You do. You give me hope and courage and faith.
How can I give back? I ask myself this all the time. We all should. Can I do more? What can I provide? How best to show my thanks?
Consider each of these #SimpleFixes a small token of my appreciation for you. Each will make our lives better. Each of these can be built and we will all be closer to a world we want, one that supports the culture we love, the culture we want to contribute to and be part of.
I am donating my ideas to the world. I want nothing back — although I would like them to happen. Call it a Potlatch. I am giving away these babies, these cherished goods, but this should be a group effort. Imagine if we all generated a “simple fix” to enhance the things we care about? Even each of us giving one #SimpleFix a year would move us forward far faster. We may even be able to alter our course so we and IndieFilm don’t fall off the cliff into oblivion!
It’s time we used our cognitive surplus and made some things happen, don’t you think?
Most of these Simple Fixes have not yet been done. You may have noticed that I have done some of these though, but need your help with them still. If you join in, we are going to start to gain momentum.
I recognize it’s not enough just to list them as I now have. We must build them, and soon. Maybe a whole bunch of us need to gather, together with our friends in tech, and start to solve it.
If we ran together, I think we’d have enough speed to really fly. Check out the list below, and let me know what more you have to add. I have written further about each of them if you click through the links.
