Community Matters.

Facebook Film Explains what 'Community' Means to People Around the World

Director’s Cut. Much love and gratitude to everyone who spent so many long days and extra hours to make this Dir's cut happen! (Zoe, Andy, Paul, Kris, Grace & Dallas). And to all the kind people who welcomed me to their homes for the sound interviews. It was their honest and inspiring words that gave the most heart and meaning to this piece. An interactive version of this film was made available to all 2 billion Facebook users in July 2018. Every user was able to customize it with their own personal photos and share their own version.

Twentyfour Seven serviced the production Facebook's recent 'Community Matters' film with production company RESET and director Diego Contreras.


Facebook’s objective with this project was to create a film that evoked the feeling of community and the experience that comes with being part of something that’s bigger than one individual. It was essential that these videos had a feeling of being multicultural and the brief was to convey as many different communities and neighbourhoods as possible whilst not actually travelling the whole way around the world to do it! This project brought Diego Contreras of Reset Content to our doors and we gladly took on the challenge.
