Created by University of Southern California School of Cinema/TV's graduate Brett Brownell in 2007, Worldwide Moment
is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit organization that serves a national community of artists and arts
organizations. Their programs and services facilitate the creation of art by offering vital support to the artists who produce it.
They help artists and arts organizations function more effectively as businesses by providing access to funding, healthcare,
education, and more, all in a context that honors their individuality and independent spirit. By nurturing today's talented but
underrepresented voices, They hope to foster a dynamic and diverse cultural landscape of tomorrow.

Story: I planned this image to represent finding happiness and hope in unusually places. It's about starting small and dreaming big. I imagine this flower is looking at the height of the skyscrapers around it and wondering if it too can grow so tall. It's about thriving even when you are out of your element, and it's about making the world your own, no matter where you are.

Story: It was such a nice feeling when i was preparing my camera and thinking: 'how many people around the world where preparing their cameras or getting ready to take a photo for peace just as i'm doing now?' and then i realized that we are all humans, we are all the same, we laugh,cry, live and die.
