ʼs Road to Oprah

About The Road to Oprah

This fall, The 1 Second Film documentary crew, joined by Folk/Americana band “The Love Punks,” will embark on a 45-day 10,000 mile bio-diesel journey across America in pursuit of a dream– uniting the world through collaborative art. Our road trip ends in Chicago, where we hope to ask Oprah Winfrey to donate a single dollar to join our 7,500+ Producers from 47 Countries and counting. Along the way we will be visiting over 30 Universities and house parties, presenting our 5 Phase Plan while raising fin-ishing funds for our film. The journey will be included as part of The 1 Second Filmʼs “making of” documentary, which will play during the filmʼs 90-minutes of end-credits.

About The 1 Second Film

The 1 Second Film is a grassroots non-profit collaborative film project that anyone can help produce (and appear in), alongside stars like Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Ste-phen Colbert, and Christina Ricci, simply by donating $1. The film consists of one-sec-ond of animation- giant collaborative murals painted by hundreds of people. Producers receive a credit in the film as well as a profile on the1secondfilm.com, allowing collabo-ration in a growing online community. A fun-filled celebrity laden “making of” documen-tary will play during the filmʼs 90-minutes of credits, detailing how art can bring people together. All profits from the finished film will be donated to charity. The film is the start of a 5 Phase Plan to bring the world together, one-second at a time.

The project is the brainchild of Nirvan Mullick, an award-winning director turned so-cial-entrepreneur, who started the film while studying animation at California Institute of the Arts. The production is overseen by The 1 Second Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization devoted to using collaborative art and media to create social change. The Foundationʼs Board of Directors includes Julie Taymor, Albert Maysles, Stephen Ne-meth, and Ben Goldhirsh.

After Party with The Love PunksTouring with The 1 Second Film is the amazing and eclectic Americana/folk rock band “The Love Punks” who have opened for Tenacious Dʼs Kyle Glass while receiving community-service com-mendations from L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The Love Punks will perform original songs about the epic (and often absurd) adventures of uniting the world with one-second of collabora-tive art.

OUR CREWAbout The DirectorNirvan Mullick is an award-winning animator turned social-entrepreneur. His short films have screened at Cannes, as well as over 100 International Film Festivals, winning dozens of awards including the AFI FEST Audience and Jury Awards, and a Student Academy Award nomination. Nirvan began The 1 Second Film while a student at California Institute of the Arts and began fundraising dollar-by-dollar after developing the project into a non-profit 5 Phase Plan to bring the world together.

The Love PunksThe Love Punks, aka The Evangenitals, are fronted by Juli Crockett- a retired undefeated profes-sional boxer, accomplished playwright and stage director, and PHD philosophy student turned hillbilly rocker.

Backing Juli is Lisa Dee, an operatic soprano with an extensive resume in classical music and experimental jazz, Brett “Coach” Lyda on guitar, and George Bernardo on drums (who has gigged with the likes of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley).
