I'd like your help with a noble cause. please take a few
minutes out of your busy day to read this message and watch my
video. I produced and directed a short documentary following a
missing child case in Omaha, Nebraska. I had no budget, no backing,
just the help of some talented friends(tyler chesher, @mic and matt crocco) , a mac, some video cameras and the inspiration of real life heros. The piece is compelling, heartbreaking and eye opening.
THE LINK BELOW WILL TAKE YOU TO A SHORT DOCUMENTARY PRESENTATION; A
SNAPSHOT OF SIX MONTHS IN THE LIFE OF MARC KLAAS, HIS STAFF, AND THE
FAMILY OF A MISSING CHILD SEEKING THEIR HELP.
The presentation covers the heartbreaking story of a missing child
from the perspective of Marc Klaas and his team, as well as the
family of the missing child, Amber Harris.
You may have heard of Marc. On Oct 1, 1993, his twelve-year-old
daughter Polly was kidnapped and murdered .
Devastated, Marc pursued a life of activism with an aggressive child safety agenda.
Mark formed KlaasKids in September, 1994, a non profit foundation
dedicated to the prevention of crimes against children, stronger
sentencing for violent criminals and governmental accountability and
responsibility.
The foundation is run by Klaas with a tight group of trusted experts.
Please watch this video and follow their heroic stories of loss and
redemption.
I'm trying to get attention on youtube and myspace and get a weekly show on the air or even on the web, so this issue will stay on viewers minds.
Marc Klaas and I want to create a call to action as well as help find the
missing children, offer assistance to their families and inform
viewers on how to proactively protect their children.
