Mr. president, it is with great pleasure that I receive your request for more information. And with equal pleasure I attempt to explain bellow:
The video is to be submitted to a worldwide competition which requires that all submissions complete the sentence "Democracy is...".
More submissions from other participants as well as more information on the contest can be found at http://www.youtube.com/democracychallenge
The acting family lives in South Skåne, Sweden. I spent some time in South Skåne with an American family which also participates in the same contest through two different videos in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvfb5B4sZDQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrUnte38p9k
Since the competition in looking for seven winners from seven different regions, we are not competing against each other as we can submit the videos either under the country of residence or the country of origin. The American family will submit their two videos as American and European because they currently live in Sweden.
About my video itself, yes, I conceived it, wrote the script, directed the actors, operated the camera, edited and mixed the sound and made the music track for the video on a Yamaha synthesizer.
I wish you a great week ahead, Mr President.
Cordially, Mateus Tembe, President
