Give your loved one the credit they deserve, make them a Producer!
When this project started there were only two people involved, Andrew and I, but now two years later, our family of producers has swelled to around 200 and we’ve got great news for everyone. Having just submitted our most recent cut of the film to SXSW in Austin TX, we’re very happy to announce that we’re opening presales for the film on the site, with the official launch having been set for February 12, 2011. We’ll mark the occasion with a special screening of the film in Vancouver where you’ll be able to come pick up your copy on DVD or USB key, with traditional shipping options available to those who can’t make it. We’re also very excited about our exclusive WGH Producer’s Package which we think is a thoughtful alternative that some people on your list will definitely appreciate receiving this holiday season.
This handsome package includes:
- An official Producer’s certificate and name in the film’s credits
- A certificate confirming your $5 contribution to the construction of a wireless mesh network in the Downtown Eastside
- A ticket to the February 12th, 2011 screening and afterparty at W2
- One copy of the completed film on DVD or USB
To show our appreciation for the support you’ve already provided, we’re giving all existing producers a 10% discount off any purchases you make on the site, so don’t miss this limited time opportunity to share your involvement with this project with your friends and family.
Thanks for everything,

W2 presents: The With Glowing Hearts UnFestival 2010
Attention World!! You are invited to join us at the With Glowing Hearts Unfestival 2010 presented by W2 Storyeum!
What’s an Unfestival? Well, we’re giving you a chance to see a “work-in-progress” cut of the film, as well as getting involved in some fundraising to help us complete it. We’ll have an exciting variety of silent auction items for you to bid on, as well as an opportunity to become a ‘producer’ on the film and have input into the final version!
With Glowing Hearts, is a feature length documentary which focuses on the way activists and artists in Vancouver used social media during the Olympics to affect social change and bring down barriers.

We are in our final stage of post production and need to prepare for broadcast and distribution. We have managed to get to this point with many contributions from numerous people but still have a few hurdles like insurance, music rights, publicty and people’s wages which are hard cash costs that can’t be avoided.
Unfestival Schedule:
- 4 pm free community screening, all are welcome
- An evening fundraising screening starting at 7pm, which includes silent auction and the opportunity to become a ‘producer’. The price of your admission will also get you listed the film’s credits as a producer, but the more you contribute the larger your name will appear.
- Silent auction and door prizes
- There will be a producer/director Q & A after the screening, which will give you the chance to ask questions of the filmmakers, and provide feedback as we move forward to the film’s final cut!
- Cash bar will be available, as well as delicious snacks
- Music from DJs Kid Knowledge and Haze, and more!
Got a great prize you’d love to donate to the auction? Email us.

Got a pressing question that only a true geek can answer?
Your chance to meet a geek comes this Tuesday, September 21 at Vancouver’s first Meet the Geek event where a gourmet dinner will be served up with hearty helpings of geekery as some of the city’s top tech minds gather at The Salt Cellar to “meet, eat and give back.”
The idea behind the event, hosted by the Social Media Club Vancouver and sponsored byVancouver Food Tour, is to give the less technologically inclined a chance to get together and pose their most pressing tech questions to the experts and at the same time raise money for a worth cause.
The cause in this case is the independent documentary, With Glowing Hearts, a two-hour film that will focus on four Vancouver activists and artists living and working in the downtown eastside.

The documentary chronicles the impact of social media and how the four individuals saw their lives change through their social communities, both online and off. Among the participants is April Smith. Hers is an inspiring story that goes from a life in the streets to a life in which she has co-founded a social media company in the downtown eastside and uses her new media skills to help others.”
