On twitter, #TYC is the new acronym being tweeted everywhere. It took me a while to realize it's an acronym for The Youngest Candidate. It's the first of its kind, this film premiere tweet-up thing.
Jason Pollock, the director for The Youngest Candidate, used twitter to market and mobilize his 50,000 twitter followers to come watch his film or in the least, the live streaming of his reception and red carpet for the LA film festival premiere.
Could social media really be a way to promote a film? Would people watch the live stream?
I shot the footage above and found it on Causecast's site as a place holder of where the actual live streaming was viewed. As I was filming it, I could see messages of the people watching the live streaming pop up on the little camera screen. It was an unexpectedly intimate experience to know that people were watching what you were filming and reacting to it as it was happening.

This sent me into a journey of figuring out what exactly was in my cosmetic products.
I mean, I'm the biggest makeup junkie, with a Beauty Insider card from Sephora, carry an ULTA card and visit all my local beauty supplies store. So, if you could imagine, it was no small feat to go through all my makeup (and actually I'm still not done yet). After two days of trashing more than 80% of my makeup, I finally went online and bought some safe and non-toxic cosmetics and body products at bubbleandbee.com, jane iredale, coastal classic creations, and at Whole Food's body aisle.
I feel liberated that I'm not chained to the parabens, fragrance, and a whole host of oth...Read More
