Hasta La Creative!

Despite the prevailing opinion, there are more things in the world that connects us, rather than separate us. Maybe it sounds unbelievable, but one of them is religion. When you compare the basic principles of Islam and Christianity, you will see that they are almost the same! This is what the ‘One book’ is about. Bringing together two religions to bring peace and harmony to the world!

“One book for peace” gathers teachings from the holy books of the Bible and the Quran, comparatively showing how similar messages from each are. By showing resemblance between the two, the purpose of the book is to bring to life inter-religious dialogue and discussion among ordinary people.

The book represents 10 verses from the Bible and 10 verses of the Quran, on ten universal topics, close to all people in the world: One God, Peace, Justice, Love, Family and Neighbors, Sanctity of Life, Compassion, Forgiveness, Helping Others and Hope.

The book is prepared by experienced journalist Mirnes Kova?, with the help of two theologians Muhamed Fazlovi? (Islam) and Pavle Mijovi? (Christianity). Theologians have chosen verses from their holy books, which they want people from other religions to read.

Project ‘The One’ is created as a joint project between New Moment and Y&R, for Inter-religious Council in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the mission
to bring down prejudice and raise awareness of the importance of inter-religious dialogue.

The book has its premiere on Al Jazeera Channel, and will be sent to the world’s most influential leaders, such as His Holiness Pope Francis, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel and many others around the world.

In order to provide access to the book to as many people as possible, the book has its online and audio version.

Multifaceted New York-based production studio Sibling Rivalry continues to bolster its directorial roster with the signing of filmmaker Harrison Boyce.
A versatile director/DP whose work canvasses the visual spectrum from music videos to brand promos to commercials, Boyce originally made his name on the professional BMX circuit before trading in his bikes for different creative pursuits, beginning his career in graphic design and eventually moving behind the camera. For the director, despite his BMX success, the allure of bringing creative concepts to life always beckoned. “Even though I was pro, it was never my lifelong goal and therefore I was always looking forward and beyond BMX,” Boyce says. “It was an amazing platform for me to build my creative skills off of and I was fortunate to work with some amazing people and travel the world at a pretty young age. Still, even though BMX was something I cared deeply about, I was also always interested in other things like art, design, music and film.”

Boyce has since translated his love of the creative arts in variety of inviting, intriguing and fun projects including music videos for Pusha T and Diddy (“Driving around in LA with Puffy in his Maybach,” he notes as a career highlight), as well as campaigns for Nike, Gatorade, Nowness, Gucci and Dries Van Noten. Now as part of Sibling Rivalry’s roster, the filmmaker has found a kindred spirit that blends well with his aesthetic, style and multitasking, grassroots approach. “I come from a background of shooting, directing and editing all of my own stuff ” Boyce adds. “I like having a hands-on with everything that I do. I really like to capture unexpected elements and find unique moments that help tell expected stories.”

According to Sibling Rivalry EP Shelby Ross, “It’s exciting to have Harrison on our team, his work is fresh, and consistent with the Sibling design sensibility. With his varied, intriguing background in tow, he brings a unique perspective to the SR studio’s roster.”

President Trump has created this ad to mark his first 100 days in office, but in an odd twist, CNN would not allow him to buy airtime for it. Why? It has a slam against “fake news” in it.

CNN said it would run the 30-second television spot, a celebration of Mr. Trump’s first 100 days in office, only if the campaign removed a section that featured the words “fake news” superimposed over several TV journalists, including Wolf Blitzer of CNN, and others from MSNBC, PBS, ABC and CBS.

CNN defended the decision in a statement on Twitter.

“The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false,” the network said. “Per our policy, it will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted.”

In response, Michael Glassner, the executive director of Mr. Trump’s campaign committee, called the decision “censorship pure and simple.”

“By rejecting our ad, CNN has proven that it supports censorship is biased and fears an opposing point of view,” Mr. Glassner said in a statement. “President Trump’s loyal supporters know the truth: The mainstream media mislead, misguide, deceive, and distract.”

Since a rejection by a network actually makes the news, this ad has now been written up in practically every news outlet instead, which is not bad for earned media. Apart from the “fake news” graphic, the ad is your usual political ad that shows only positive things like busy construction and loving families, while announcing achievements made by this presidency. The unusual part is that this is created in the first 100 days, when you’d usually see this sort of thing at a re-election. I’ve linked each statement made to a corresponding WhiteHouse.gov announcement, apart from the “fake news” bit because I could not find that on the WhiteHouse.gov website. I honestly expected to.

A respected Supreme Court Justice confirmed. Companies investing in American jobs again. America becoming more energy independent. Regulations that kill American jobs eliminated. The biggest tax cut plan in history.

After all this chest beating, the VO concludes that: “America is winning, and President Trump is making America great again.”
