George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, and WTF? George Polisner?

As I continue to write about the dynamic and challenging societal imperatives of our time, many subscribers, followers, and advocates (and I’m deeply grateful for all of you!) have recommended the use of short-form media, 90-120 second films to accompany my generally lengthy perspectives.

After researching platforms and technology that can help transform articles into scripts and film -I now have an approach -and hope to become more adept in applying the technology to make complex article content viral, accessible, edgy, and compelling for all.

The inaugural attempt is on the most recent article on immigration and the original undocumented: https://bomdia.substack.com/p/on-immigration

The article above, transformed into a short film is now available here:

Please let me know what you think. If you find the above compelling, I hope you help me defeat algorithmic inequality by liking, sharing, and commenting.

If you find this article of value, please do share with friends, associates, & others who have an interest in the content.

Please note that my articles and subscriptions are not paywalled. This stems from a guiding principle -that any meaningful democracy requires an informed, educated, and engaged society. It is also to honor the life of Aaron Swartz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M0GQww1GoY), who held firmly to the belief that research and knowledge intended for the betterment of humanity should be freely shared.

Aside from writing, mentoring others, and projects related to democracy, economics, and social innovation, I’m dedicated to Civic Works, a 501c3 non-profit organization building and managing technology that blends social networking and civic engagement. Our core effort is around civ.works. When complete, it will be a subscriber-supported, ad-free social network that does not betray subscriber trust by selling or sharing data with marketers or sinister political operatives.

I’m incredibly grateful for all who contribute to the civ.works effort through our secure payment processor, Stripe, and all who help us gain visibility by sharing the project with journalists and others to move the effort forward.
