World On A String -- Movie About Beads

There have been a number of discussion boards discussing the new
website http://www.worldonastringmovie.com. The website is now live!
The DVD is also available for sale on the site!

Info about the World On A String project:
The World On A String is a new four-episode five-hour documentary
series produced by veteran film maker Diana Friedberg. The project was
made possible by a number of generous contributors including The Bead
Society Society of Los Angeles. The first two hour episode is now
complete.

World On A String tells the remarkable story of human history through
one of mankind's tiniest creations... the bead. It is an awesome saga
spanning some 75,000 years. The project has been a labor of love for
its producer, Diana Friedberg - an industry award-winning film editor
and producer - for over a decade.

This is a story never told before and certainly never attempted on the
scale to which the producer has gone to convey the extent of the
subject's canvas. This is human drama of the most potent and powerful
kind, and a tale that weaves its way through cultures, traditions,
religions, and histories all over the globe. The series was shot on
location on five continents and presents a truly stunning picture of
how a tiny object transformed human thinking and influenced social
behavior over the eons. While it dips back into the deepest recesses
of time, it is nevertheless very much a contemporary story set in the
moden day. It includes extraordinary footage in which we meet amazing
personalities from tribal chiefs to shamans, craftsmen, artists, and
priests.

You can now own on DVD the first episode of World On A String, titled
"The Eternal Bead". Once completed, the remaining episodes of the
project will be made available on DVD as well. All proceeds from the
sale of the first episode will go towards the completion of the
project.
