NEW: Ghana Tourist Villas offers an unforgettable holiday and business experience in Accra.
None of them was born in America. All chose America. Like you.
Whether you came from Germany, England, Italy or the Czech Republic, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, or Cuba, whether you immigrated to America as a child, a young adult, or with your own children, whether it was your decision or your parents', whether you immigrated in the 20's, 50s' the 80s' or just yesterday, you must have one special story to tell. And we want to hear it!
We are Ricky Friesem (An award winning writer, screenwriter and filmmaker) and Lia Friesem (Journalist, writer, screenwriter, and documentary filmmaker). This fall we initiated a new project:
The Choosing America Project
We are looking for authentic dramatic anecdotes, short stories (1500-4000 words) that epitomize your experience as immigrants who CHOSE to live in America.
Think of something that has happened to you as an immigrant - We are looking for those special moments, encounters, surprises, experiences, disappointments, which vividly convey what it's like to be an immigrant in America. The good, the bad, the sad, the miraculous, the joyful— every anecdote is welcome as long as it's authentic and well told.
IF YOU HAVE A GOOD STORY – WE WANT TO HEAR IT!
The goal of our project is to turn some of these stories into short films that will be shown in the movies and broadcast on TV.
So think carefully of that special story that is worth telling the world, and share it with us.
Send your story to: stories@choosingamerica.com
We'll be glad to answer any further questions you might have.
