About Us

The 1 Second Film is being made by an extremely diverse crew of individuals investing in an idea that one second can change the world. Our small production team is based in Los Angeles and supported by grassroots donations; we have also formed a non-profit called The Collaboration Foundation to oversee the project. We are driven by a 5 Phase Plan to create innovative collaborative art on a global scale, creating commuity and social change via collaborative art.

Our Road to Oprah Story

The Road to Oprah was dreamed up as part of our projects campaign to include as many people as we can. We figure, if we can get Oprah to join our crew by donating just $1, we might reach tens-of-thousands of others along the way, setting up a foundation for our 5 Phase Plan.

Driven by this dream, we began to fundraise dollar-by-dollar; eventually, we raised enough to build this website and buy a used school bus, which we converted into a bio-diesel RV. With the help of our producers, we set up a collaborative tour and drove 10,000 miles across America, visiting 28 states, and giving dozens of presentations - from YouTube to Google to skate parks and even a Veterans' Home - enlisting over 1,000 new Producers while on our way to Chicago ask Oprah for $1...

So, after all that, what did Oprah do? Well, we still don't know! On the day we finally reached Chicago, Oprah had to go to Africa on a last-second emergency! Fortunately for our film, our journey really is the destination!

We have not given up! We are now editing footage from our tour to send to Oprah's Producers, whie raising funds to finish editing our documentary and gradually building The Collaboration Foundation.
