Coming to Theaters in January 2011...

...the SLANT 45 documentary - filmed by award-winning filmmaker Mark Birnbaum! Over the next eight months, Birnbaum will be producing and directing a film all about SLANT 45 - the kids, the projects and the impact. He's already gotten footage of students at Clarke Elementary School in Fort Worth working on their "Future of the World" projects, including sprucing up their school by painting over graffiti. He's filmed a group from the Episcopal School of Dallas making emergency care packages with the Red Cross. He's even gotten down in the dirt with the after-school program at Ireland Elementary in their brand new community garden.

All these projects and more will be on display on the BIG screen next January. As Birnbaum puts it, "The opportunity to make a documentary about this ambitious project is the sort of thing a filmmaker dreams about...we look forward to revealing the individual stories of kids and communities that SLANT 45 represents." And we look forward to seeing it - don't you?

Stay tuned to the Think Big blog for more information on where and when the movie will be playing - and make sure you register your team TODAY, and perhaps we'll be seeing YOU on the big screen!
