Participate.net Launches Oil Change Campaign
by Michael Graham Richard, Gatineau, Canada on 11.23.05
Participant Productions was created by Jeff Skoll, ex-President of eBay and now Philanthropic billionaire. "Our goal is to deliver compelling entertainment that will raise awareness about important social issues, educate audiences and inspire them to take action." For more info on their last movies follow these links: Good Night, And Good Luck, the "media" movie with George Clooney, North Country, the "sexual harassment" movie with Charlize Theron and Woody Harrelson, and Syriana, the soon to be released "oil" movie with George Clooney and Matt Damon. Each of these movies has a community website/blog where actors, producers, guest bloggers and regular visitors can post and discuss things related to the subject of the movie. Today, Participate.net launches its campaign for Syriana: Oil Change. I will be guest-blogging there for the foreseeable future and I hope that some of our readers will take the plunge, create an account and participate. Participant Productions are doing good things and bringing important issues to the mainstream consciousness. I seriously encourage people to see their movies (bring friends). ::Oil Change, ::Participate.net, ::Participant Productions, ::New George Clooney Movie Gives TerraPass a Boost

















nice! can't wiat to see it!
michael-- is that really a picture of you??
really?
Yes it is. They asked for one so I scanned something at random and cropped my face.
I'm not quite as young as I look, though.
Why do you ask?
You remind me that maybe I should add it to my bio here. That would make things look more pro, I guess.
just that you look sooooooooo young!
Well, I'm 23.
My father at 45 looked about 30, so I guess it kind of runs in the family.
