Earlier this year Andre Blackman, began implementing an idea he had for a film festival dedicated to refreshing the ongoing conversation regarding the past, present and future of public health. Less than a year later his brainchild is being born.  Tonight marks the inaugural Fast Forward Health film festival in Washington, D.C. This episode of fyi: health marcomms features a conversation with Andre and David Haddad, co-founder of the film festival. We discuss the impetus for the film festival, key topics the films being screened tonight will address and other details about the event. While the event is sold out, keep your eyes open for a Fast Forward Health festival near you soon. We have a feeling that this event in DC will be the first of many. Here at The Path of the Blue Eye we're longtime supporters of innovation in public health and communications.  To access some of the knowledge we've published on our wiki and social news site over the years, please click here.

Editor's Note: For the first installment of this podcast series, please click here. In today's episode of fyi: health marcomms I continue my interview with Craig Lefebvre, or @chiefmaven as he is known on Twitter.  This interview marks the second and final installment of a podcast series featuring our discussion about the relationship between social media, public health and health communications.  The concepts Lefebvre outlines in this podcast were originally featured in a blog post he wrote titled, "5 Fictions About Social Media for Public Health and Healthcare." We also focus on another provocative blog post written by Lefebvre, "10 'What Ifs' for Social Marketing." In this essay he generated a list of 'what ifs,' which addresses how today's social marketers are still applying old solutions to new problems.  Craig is pointing out that effective social marketing (which ultimately concludes with behavior change and persuasion) requires a much different approach. Below is Craig's list: What if we... didn't have target audiences - but co-creators didn't have distribution systems - but places where people could play didn't use focus groups - but designed research to fit the puzzle and people didn't assess knowledge and attitudes - but sought insight into people's motivation and values didn't start with analyzing people - but first assumed that it was something in their environment didn't create messages and stories - but focused on crafting exchanges didn't track program output - but what, how often and from where people saw and heard from us didn't aim at target audiences - but served people didn't focus on changing behaviors - but offered people new ways to solve problems, meet their needs and reach for their dreams didn't focus on evaluation as the end of the process - but sustainability as the start of the next one Do you agree with Craig's perspective? Do you have other valuable insights you'd like to share?   Please call our listener line (866-572-0497) to tell us what you think and to keep the conversation going.
