These are difficult times for everyone. We live in a world where we not only face catastrophes due to natural causes, but we are faced with hate speech, racist, homophobic and sexist discourses in various spheres of society. Given that we can no longer continue with these attitudes, Dream Team Directors, a Los Angeles-based creative video agency founded by the husband and wife duo Daniel Lir and Bayou Bennett, has decided to challenge people to spread how they are making someone's dreams come true and positively impacting the world with their good works. As Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world" and that is what this contest is all about: celebrating the power of people and creating a better future on Earth for us all through everyday action.
The challenge is being held on Instagram and to participate, the contestants should post a 1-minute or less video about this theme, include the hashtag #dreamteamdirectors, follow the agency on Instagram and challenge 3 other friends to change the world as well by tagging them in their comments. If the video contains bad language or anything disrespectful, the contestant will be automatically disqualified. Since Dream Team Directors believes that filmmakers, artists, writers, activists, educators, inventors, politicians, designers, farmers and everyday people can positively change the world with their creative work as well as their everyday good deeds, the top prize will not be chosen for his/her directing technique or production value, but for having the most liked post on Instagram.
The agency will announce the winner on January 31st, 2017, giving a $1,000 (one thousand dollar) cash prize which the winner can use to donate to their favorite charity, cause or use to continue creating their good works. First, second and third place get featured in a press release and social media shout out.
This is not the first time that Dream Team Directors is involved in social causes. Earlier this year, they teamed up with the Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo ("Spotlight") on an unconventional journey to take a "toxic tour" of LA area oil and fracking sites with entertainment industry leaders on board for the tour, committed to raise awareness about this climate fight that is affecting communities throughout LA area, showing that they really believe in their motto: "Let our dream team manifest your dream" and are committed to change the world with their projects.
