The World\u2019s Only Film to Expose the Empathy Deficit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Kurt Engfehr<\/strong><\/p>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \u2013 Sydney, Australia, Friday 12 October\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

The global social change film to be directed by Kurt Engfehr, \u201cStand in My Shoes\u201d has today secured an Australian and New Zealand distribution deal with Titan View, the innovative Australian distribution house responsible for the release of international smash hits \u201cThe Jammed\u201d, \u201c33 Postcards\u201d and most recently, the gutsy documentary, \u201cThis is Roller Derby\u201d.<\/p>\n

Stand In My Shoes is a crowd-fuelled social change film that exposes what President Barack Obama has coined as the “empathy deficit” in our world. The film will examine new scientific research confirming our 24\/7 technology driven culture may be creating an empathy deficient generation ill\u2013equipped to deal with world problems, despite being increasingly connected.<\/p>\n

Director, Kurt Engfehr leads the team of socially conscious film-makers, Anna Reeves, Elizabeth Nakano and Vivienne Somers on their journey to expose the looming crisis of an empathy lacking culture and the countermovement of \u201csocial revolutionaries\u201d who are fighting to create a more compassionate world in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

CEO John L Simpson said \u201cWe are thrilled to acquire the distribution rights for \u201cStand In My Shoes\u201d for our domestic territory. We were immediately struck by the timeliness of this topic, the creativity, talent and strength of the film-making team, and their innovative approach with the film-making process which we see as a huge asset in capturing a worldwide audience. We see huge potential for this title and are looking forward to working with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Executive Producer and Co-Producer, Ahmed Salama (\u201cThe Tunnel\u201d) said \u201cWe couldn\u2019t have asked for a more ideal distribution partner. John and his team immediately understood what we wanted to do with the film and its outreach, on a global scale. It\u2019s exciting for us to have such a forward thinking distributor on board who really gets\u00a0 what we want to achieve with this film.\u201d<\/p>\n

The distribution deal announcement comes at a critical time for the film-makers Anna Reeves, Viv Somers and Elizabeth Nakano, who are running their first crowd-funding campaign via Kickstarter to support the film, which has raised over $30K of the $50K goal. Prospective pledgers have up until October 22 2012 to secure a much sought after Executive Producer credit and Internet Movie Database (IMDB) listing.<\/p>\n

The team will use the funds committed to develop an innovative online storytelling platform, created specifically for the film.\u00a0 This platform will be used to source stories from people all over the world to find examples of \u201cempathy in action\u201d in their local communities, of which an exclusive group will be selected by Kurt Engfehr to appear in the movie\u2019s final cut.<\/p>\n

Stand In My Shoes is slated for premiere in January 2014, and will have a multi-platform online release at Sundance with theatrical planned for both Australia and the US in the same year.<\/p>\n
