Hi Everybody!

I'm a PHTS Alumni and this is a project that I'm currently working on
and thought you folks might be interested. Heck, you could buy a credit
for yourself and/or PHTS for just a $1 donation. :-)

LOS ANGELES, CA – Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Pierce Brosnan,
Christina Ricci, and Stephen Colbert are just a few of the dozens of
celebrities that have joined over 7,500 people from 45 countries to
produce a 70mm film that will last only one second.

The innovative non-profit collaboration, aptly titled "The 1 Second
Film," creatively utilizes the internet to enable anyone in the
world to become a film producer along with major stars, simply by
donating $1 or more via the film's website: www.the1secondfilm.com
<http://www.the1secondfilm.com>

"A lot can happen in one-second," says Nirvan Mullick, an
award-winning director turned social-entrepreneur, who started the film
7 years ago while a student at California Institute of the Arts. A
single second of animation consists of 24 frames of film. In this case,
each frame is a giant collaborative mural painted by hundreds of people.

Nirvan began fundraising after graduating, setting out to bring the
world together for one second. With no budget and a simple Xeroxed flier
he began pitching the film to anyone he met. His first celebrity pitch
was to George Clooney, whom he ran into in a Burbank parking lot. "I
was pretty nervous," Nirvan admits, "Clooney passed, but later I
got a dollar from a lady at the grocery store."

After that initial encounter, Nirvan continued to improve his marketing
materials and his 1 Second pitch. Hundreds more donated and soon even
randomly encountered celebrities started chipping in. Christina Ricci,
met on a sidewalk, donated $5.50, Spike Jonze became a $12 producer at a
movie theater, and Tom Arnold gave $100 outside of the Hollywood Guitar
Center.

Nirvan made a website listing the celebrity and non-celebrity producers
in order of amount donated. Word spread virally, and thousands around
the world began donating online. Dozens of Christina Ricci fans have
since given $5.51 to be listed above the star, while comedians Tom Green
($220.00) and Andy Dick ($211.11) are engaged in an escalating battle
for top billing.

After raising over $160,000 of a $1,000,000 goal, the production
recently launched it's own online social-network, giving its
thousands of producers unique profiles. "Imagine if everyone on
MySpace was making a movie together," says Nirvan, "that's
the goal. Micro-collaboration."

"I love what these guys are doing, and the way they are doing
it," says Kiefer Sutherland, one of the film's top Executive
Producers, who recently donated $600.23 at a restaurant.

With thousands of producers, from gas-station attendants to the director
of Independence Day, the film's end credits will last an astounding
90-minutes. A star studded "making of" documentary will
accompany the feature-length credits, detailing the (often absurd)
adventures of bringing the world together for one-second. All profits
raised by The 1 Second Film will be donated to charity.

A two second film is already in development (The 2 Second Film). For
