I love when Oprah shares the next great novel or the best comfy t-shirt. But I also love being in the know before Oprah is. Last year I was working at a charity event and I saw Nirvan Mullick standing behind a wooden lemonade-stand-like structure with “Be a Film Producer” painted atop it. Curious, I asked him what it was about. He said, for $1 I could become a producer on the world’s longest short film. The price was right, so I reached in my pocket and pulled out $1 and added my name to the credits of The 1 Second Film.
Back home, when I logged onto the website to fill out my producer profile, I noticed the option for dog producers, so of course I gave my credit to Darby. He loves creative endeavors that bring the world together for a good cause — all profits from the film will be donated to the Global Fund for Women. Hopefully Oprah and her dogs will too. Right now, Nirvan and his co-producers are on a “Road to Oprah” cross country trip to raise awareness and ultimately to ask Oprah to donate a $1. (See the video clip above to get the full story.) Good luck guys. See you on Oprah!
