The following is a proposal for a social media strategy for promoting the upcoming independent feature film, Rising From Ruins, part of the Independent America documentary series produced by HRHMedia.
About Independent America: Rising From Ruins

Independent America: Rising From Ruins is the 2008 follow-up to 2005’s Independent America: The Two-Lane Search For Mom & Pop. Both feature-length documentaries are directed by Hanson Hosein, former CBC and MSNBC reporter and current director of the Master of Communication in Digital Media at the University of Washington. As a series, Independent America focuses on the struggles and challenges faced by small businesses and business owners, as well as those communities such businesses occupy. 2005’s Mom & Pop took the documentarian road-tripping across the United States, capturing stories of hardship and determination in the face of growing mega-corporate encroachment. Unfortunately, August 2005 brought devastation to one location the filmmakers were unable to visit until much later. 2008’s Rising From Ruins returned to the scenes of post-Katrina New Orleans to document the growing struggles faced by NOLA residents and small business owners as both government and big business attempt to execute a difficult and controversial recovery – one that hardly includes ‘mom and pop’.
