LaidOffCamp Tucson is excited and proud to showcase Erik Proulx’s film Lemonade at Spoke6 Thursday, October 27th (starting at 6:00 PM). But what is LaidOffCamp? We’ll help answer that before watching the film.
The Story of Lemonade
In 2008, Erik was laid off — for the third time in 10 years. He started a blog hoping to build a community and resources for other laid-off advertising agency workers, and then embarked on a project to develop a documentary about his experience — and that of others — in being laid off.
His film, Lemonade, was released in September 2009. It was made by volunteers, with the help of sponsors who paid for airfare, film crews and other resources needed to produce the 35-minute film. The film features the inspirational stories of creative folks who turned their layoff into an opportunity for a new and more fulfilling life. The film has gained media attention across the world, including mentions from Fast Company and CBS Evening News.
