As part of a new feature, we’ll be profiling the producers who have donated towards the One Week Job documentary film. Would you like to be featured? First, become a producer!

Sebastian Keller was so jazzed about Sean’s Project, he’s decide to try a variation of his own. Here’s 5 questions with Sebastian.

Sebastian Keller

1. What was the worst job you’ve ever done? What was the best?

Worst job: Working for a local TV station as an intern. Money was o.k., but I had to start at 8 a.m. (after commuting 1.5 hour), fight very stressful situations (10 minutes until my stuff should be on air and the computer constantly crashes…) and work on very silly material (as for example the local dog couture show).

Best job: Well it wasn’t really a job, but I earned my first pennies telling jokes in my granddad’s bar. I don’t remember much about it but I think everyone had a really good time there.

2. What are the types of things you’re passionate about?

New things! Fascinating people! Experiencing how ideas evolve. Two months ago I sold my first manuscript to a publisher, so I’m passionate about becoming a professional writer. And I’m passionate about all the cool stuff I like to write about: Interesting people and the interesting stories they have to tell.

3. What do you find most interesting about the One Week Job project?

That someone did it! ^__^

4. Why did you decide to donate toward the One Week Job film?

Because I think it is worth supporting. It inspired me, so I wanted to give something back.

5. What do you hope to see represented in the film?

Hmmm… difficult one. Honestly I don’t know. The film should add a new dimension to the project and add something that can’t be communicated through the website. Maybe I’m not the only one who would be interested in some background information about working life in the USA and Canada.

Sean gets touchy with shark at the Georgia Aquarium.

It’s been two weeks since Sean and I made the official announcement that the documentary has started production. We sent the word out to friends, family, and all current fans of the project. And the response has been fantastic!

Your donations have raised $2037 - over 20% of our needed total.

But we’re still not done yet. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of December. Of course, if we reach the total before then, all the better. The sooner we collect the donations, the sooner we can put them toward expenses: things like software, hardware and other production cost that go into making a documentary.

If you’re looking to become a One Week Job producer, head over here to donate now.

If you’ve already donated and want to help in other ways, consider these tips for spreading the word and getting others involved in the project.

It’s been almost a week since we made our official announcement. We asked people (like you) to donate an hour’s wage to support the documentary - and the donations came pouring in!

To date: we’ve raised $1510 towards our goal of $10,000.

As promised, our Wall of Producers is now online, listing the fantastic individuals that have kicked off our fundraising effort. We can’t thank you enough for taking a chance on the One Week Job project, and our effort to share the story with the world.

But we still have a long road ahead.
