Mirka's profile on the The 1 Second Film site.

"The 1 Second Film is a groundbreaking non-profit movie being made by thousands of people around the world, from celebrities like Kevin Bacon and Stephen Colbert, to first-time filmmakers and great-grandmothers. The film explores the power of new media, art, and global collaboration, with the belief that many people working together can create a lot out of a little. The project is being funded by grassroots donations, empowered by an online volunteer crew, guided by creator/director Nirvan Mullick, and overseen by the Collaboration Foundation. All profits from the finished film will be donated to charity."
