RE:Invention, The Economic Crisis As An Opportunity For Positive Transformation

by Scott Beale on July 9, 2009 · 2 comments

“RE:Invention” is a short documentary by Cathy Goerz that shows how for some people the economic crisis has become an opportunity for positive transformation.

RE:Invention is a movie about how people have responded to the economic downturn and how it has affected them. Rather than allowing these troubling times to create bitterness and anger, these people have taken their financially challenged situations and made positive changes to their lives.

Cathy is now working on an extended 30 minute version of this documentary and she is looking for new interview subjects.

My San Francisco-based team of filmmakers is producing another short documentary that continues to explore how the economic downturn is an opportunity for personal transformation and positive social change. We are shooting interviews in Northern California during July 2009. We are looking for three kinds of people to be interviewed and featured in the film.

Very nice, but all I could think about while watching is that reinvention only applies to those with savings and/or a support network.
