THE LENNON BUS PREMIERES 

"THE DIGITAL WISH TREE PROJECT" ON IFC.COM!

 

Filmed over three days in Miami in association with Avid, The Betsy
Hotel and the SAE Institute, the short film is inspired by the
installation of Yoko Ono's Wish Tree at the Betsy Hotel from April 28 -
May 1, 2011

 

The Lennon Bus, in association with Avid, The Betsy Hotel, and the SAE
Institute, has premiered the Digital Wish Tree Project on IFC.com.
Filmed over three days in Miami and produced in Avid Media Composer, the
piece is inspired by Yoko Ono's Wish Tree at the Betsy Hotel from April
28-May 1, 2011. The Wish Tree, which has been installed in museums and
cultural centers around the world, invites the public to write their
personal wishes for peace and tie them to a tree branch. The Lennon Bus
took this idea one step further by creating a multimedia project
compiling the Wish Tree contributions from the Miami community. The film
was premiered on May 1st at The Betsy Hotel at the O, Miami Closing
Poetry Party, and is now making its worldwide premiere on IFC.com.
