Well, hey, this is cool. Does the "DNN" stand for anything?

[CailanOC]

Thanks! Technically, it doesn't stand for anything I just needed a fictional news network and "D" comes after "C" but it could potentially be the "Democratic News Network" That fits in with the theme haha! :)

If I were in a position to recruit an up-and-coming filmmaker, I'd be looking at YOU!

Professional looking, nicely edited, good story!

[cetaceanaid]

For a person of such a young and impressionable age, I'm deeply moved that you have already mastered an understanding of what democracy means. But then, to be able to portray that in one minute as you did here is extraordinary. Very well done.

This is terrific--very powerful and inspirational!

[adro947]

This absolutely deserves to win. It captures the idea perfectly. It looks like a promo for a news channel. It's superb.

Hey Cailan,

Niall here Awesome video got your message across well in the short space you had

[atticuskissyface]

Really wonderful little film, Cailan!!

With a very important message that we who care so much must raise our voices and stand up for peace.

You seem almost wise beyond your years. I suspect that may have something to do with the activist Mom who raised you; and of course your innate goodness and wisdom. Not to mention your great talent!!
