TEDxCincinnatiChange Andrea Sisson and Peter Ohs "I Send You This Talk" April 19, 2012

Favorite:

Andrea Sisson & Peter Ohs of the film design duo Lauren Edward are all about perspective. As newlyweds sent to live and work on a tiny island in Iceland on a Fulbright Fellowship, these two creative filmmakers were transformed by the moving landscape surrounding them, gaining new insight into how design and creativity could be implemented in our own lives to foster health and well-being. This new outlook inspired them to create I Send You This Place, a documentary film about Andrea's efforts to understand her brother's mental diagnoses and institutionalization and how the harsh and beautiful Icelandic landscape may be the key to unlocking his mystery, as well as her own. Andrea and Peter will discuss their film and how we can all find well-being simply by changing our perspective.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
