Productions
OneWorld Productions is a new division of OneWorld Sustainable Investments and was established in 2009.
In that year it produced its first documentary, Too Many Degrees: Human Security and Climate Change, which premiered at the international climate negotiations in Copenhagen, Denmark, and enjoyed screenings at three other events there in December, 2009. The 26-minute film is currently receiving acclaim on the international documentary film festival circuit.
More documentaries are planned for the next few years to showcase the work we do and strengthen the impact our work has on the region.
Viral campaign inserts: Think for a Minute …
This series of short, sharp interviews with various climate change experts was devised as a viral campaign for both the Internet and mobile phones. Initially conceived as a vehicle for the pre-COP 15 Summit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the series has developed into small standalone chapters featuring on the RCCP, OneWorld and affiliated websites on an ongoing basis.
Each insert is roughly a minute long and highlights just one important thought from industry professionals such as Dr Lindiwe Sibanda (FANRPAN), Dr Guy Midgley (ISPCC) and Dr Peter Ashton (CSIR). Representing a variety of stakeholders and NGOs, Cecilia Makota (Women in Farming, Zambia) and Hugh Cole (OXFAM) among others are also featured.
What we bring
The unit is headed by Leigh Page, who has worked in the industry for more than 20 years. Having turned her attention to documentary making over the past three years, Leigh has focused specifically on matters of climate change since joining the OneWorld team. Her photographic journalism experience positions her well for documentary storytelling and her management experience as a film crew agent has groomed her to direct crews under the most stringent of circumstances. Quick-thinking Leigh will find filmic value in almost any scenario.
