We're excited to announce the chosen submission for the Be Almost Famous LaunchPad Opportunity on RocketHub.
Gleb Osatinski and his film project, Pisces of an Unconscious Mind, will have the opportunity to work with a top publicist, Arien Rozelle. Arien has landed clients in The New York Times, Thrilllist, and Good Magazine. At the close of 2010, she was named one of “New York’s Top PR Firms and People: The Most Influential and Connected” by Marketing Company Sparkah.com.
Gleb's unique personal story, quirky and innovative short film, and massive vote-getting prowess convinced the judges and the RocketHub team that his story should be amplified.
Special thanks to our judges Lonny Knapp of AOL’s Spinner.com, Octavio Blanco of CNNMoney, and Jacob Shwirtz of MTV.
We were all astounded by the quality and passion of many of the submissions - so Arien was gracious enough to provide two extra publicity consultation sessions for two finalists:
Lloyd Godson and his fascinating underwater research initiative. "The aim of the project is to establish a globally unique underwater research, education and outreach facility in the Vinkeveense Plassen, a freshwater lake area in The Netherlands."
Nicole Ballivian and her internationally relevant feature film. "Sleeping on Stones will be a feature film, to be shot in the West Bank city of Hebron. It will be the first dramatic feature film of Hebron and it is both a Palestinian and an American story."
Congratulations to Gleb for the publicity support he'll receive from Arien and to the finalists, Lloyd and Nicole, for the promo strategies they'll gain!
