Fixing Capitalism

Adam Cormier was an activist filmmaker based in Vancouver. His initial project, Fixing Capitalism, started out as a film about progressive and sustainable business. This blog was set up to follow Adam's struggle as he fought to get his film made and keep his dreams alive. For a whole bunch of reasons, the film failed to see production. This blog is now about the lessons Adam learned while failing as a filmmaker, his continued creative efforts, and whatever else comes to mind

Mojoy Media

Ladies and Gentlmen, I am pleased to announce the new face of my films... drum roll please... Mojoy Media!

It stands for More Joy. Which is what we plan to bring to the world. The word Mojo is also in there, which represents power and magic to me.

Wondering where I've been? Well, for the past 10 weeks I was enrolled in the Government of Canada's Self Employment Program (SEP). I wrote a business plan, I laughed, I cried (really), I spent a lot of time at the YMCA. In a nutshell, it means that I've got 38 weeks of government funding to start my own production company!

38 weeks to build community around film, challenge injustice, and re-invent production. Oh, and tell stories. That IS the most important thing.

Our pilot project will still be the Phthalates/Plastics documentary. I'll be on here much more in the near future, sharing the film making journey with you as well as footage as we go.

That's it. I just wanted to share that with the world.

Mojoy Media is here.

Peace and thanks

Adam C
