Congratulations to Katherine Dodds, who will be honoured with a Women in Film and Video Vancouver award. The award is WIFVV’s Woman of Vision Award, and she’ll receive it this week.
Katherine is really great. In my mind, she’s most famous for handling the marketing of the movie The Corporation. But she does all sorts of stuff. Her company is Good Company and they run the Hello Cool World website.
Katherine is the perfect recipient of this award. The award honours a woman who demonstrates leadership and vision in an enterprise or project that combines traditional entertainment media with the use of new digital technologies. According to the press release: “Katherine was selected for this award for her ground breaking work producing multi-media projects that use the tools of new media to connect audiences, on and offline, with social issue films.”
She did this really cool thing that got people to plan Corporation Parties. It was sort of like Tupperware parties. People come to your house, you watch the movie and then you log on to the Hello Cool World site to engage in group conversations about how to fix the world.
Katherine has a lot of exciting ideas and I’m pleased that she’s being recognized. Congratulations.
