Lemonade: It’s Not a Pink Slip, It’s a Blank Sheet of Paper

After being laid off from an advertising agency, senior copywriter Erik Proulx created the documentary Lemonade. The film tells the story of 15 agency staffers who saw being fired as a chance for a new start. Erik started out lacking the basics: a crew, music, lights, editing, producers, and more; but he used social networks such as Twitter and Facebook to get everything he needed to make a movie – and now that it’s done, he’s been using these social networks to promote it. Join us, along with special guest Erik Proulx, as we discuss the benefits – and limitations – of using social media when you’re starting from scratch.
