“The drunk journalist case”
We have a Hit Vid for the last 5 days. Must admit that I did not know what it was when I first read this word.
Anyway we are all over the Internet in at least 3 continents now. USA, Europe and Australia. Bloggers report us on what sites we are….just heard that we are now on the biggest news site in Switzerland…in German….
Numerous sites are “ cutting and pasting us, baby”. But we are proud of it.:)Must say that I did not sle...

In an hour I will be in the airport to go home again.....
It was the most exiting, moving and funny week in a Miami I began to love.
The last 2 hours I spend with Rochelle, the woman who made a lot possible this week. But most of all, she was the icing on the cake of this week. She brought tears in my eyes while telling about her rebel years and how Kennedy was their Obama at he time and how for he, as for all of us now, it feels that all the good can happen again.

Electoral aftermath
November 7th, 2008, posted by: Tarik
Today is the seventh of november, 2008. George W Bush is still president of the USA, although he`s probably planning his relocation to his home in Texas by now. Time for the new guy, the new commander in chief. The campaigns have ran - correct me if I`m wrong - for twenty months. They're over now, that's a relief to some, and perhaps a pain to others.
I was reading the local newspaper a few days ago and I stumbled upon this story. The reporter interviewed a woman who worked in a shopping mall at an airport. There was a tv next to her cashiers desk which blasted election news all day long and it wasn't making her happy to say the least. She heard just about every speech from both candidates. In fact; she stated that she would be able to give her own speech on just about every topic that was important in this presidential race. She's probabl...

Miami, USA, 5/6 november
As Alex wrote so beautifully it was a great night. For the whole world….It was truly fantastic to get the emails from Kenya, Amsterdam and Beijing as meeting so many people from other countries
The symbolic meaning of Obama, man with so many roots in so many countries, religions and cultures, is beyond measurement.
I even filmed a girl from South Korea who hoped that since he connects the black and white he might also connect North and South Kore...bookmark:

Arriving in Miami, first time. The wind is with me, we arrive 1,5 hours early because of it. On he airport I only hear Spanish and see mostly coloured and black people. I feel immidiatly at home. I guess it is that Obama virus. You feel included because you are diffrent, like him. Or in this case: everyone looks diffrent, talks diffrent languages, so I am no diffrent than the rest.
In the taxi to the hotel I am struck b the skyline of Miami....I feel like I am in an episode of CSI. It is...bookmark:

Travelling to the Emmy Award Nomination at the MIPCOM.[
We did not win the last round. Too bad, but I did found out that a nomination alone is already opening lots of doors.
During the few days on the biggest TV market in the world , I felt my mood change every hour.
Yes, it is pssible to feel like a big succes and an hour later as a complete failure. One hour you are surrounded by the nicest people, the next hour you feel utterly alone.I did meet wonderful new people, tried to sell the series to whatever global network, talked to the bosses of Youtube(thanks Chad) daily motion, bebo etc.
As a startup, happy with every 100 visttors, I felt like a complete wacko if they talk in millions and billions vistors per day.
Well, whatever, I had time to listen to great presentations and also to party or stroll alone in the streets. During the latest I hang out with these Frenbch streetdancers on the Croisette, next to the Grand Hotel. They made my day:):):)bookmark:
