Calling All MCC Alumni: Photos & Videos wanted!

We are working on a promotional video for the good people at Mennonite Central Committee Ontario and part of that work is to show off nearly a century of building peace, development, and assisting those in need.

If you or anyone you know have worked with or for MCC in any capacity, and you have photographs or video footage from your time in the field, please contact us! ken [at] roscofilms [dot] com.

We do not necessarily need you in the photo/video, but photos and footage of:
- partners
- project locations,
- MCC signage from around the world
- photos of people having fun is good, too - a look behind the curtain, to see real relationships at work!
A note/caption about when/where/who would be helpful - we may not state it directly in the video, but good to know.

*Update re: footage
We need more footage! We haven't received any footage yet! If you know anyone who has taken any video, please tap their shoulders and/or send them this blog post!

*Update re: format:
Many of you will have prints or slides from back in the day - for now, if you could take a digital snap of 4 prints at a time and email those to us, we could sift through a lot photos and get back to you with which ones we would like scanned (or mailed to us so we can scan).
*Update re: MCC photo database:
Yes, we do have access to the MCC Media Space so if you have photos in there, we will probably be going through it. If you have any in particular which you think might work, let us know the time and date maybe we can track it down.

Please send to us by February 29th! Any stragglers are welcome but we'd like an idea of what we're working with by first week of March.

Below is my own contribution from my time in Uganda with the SALT program circa 2001-2002. #timeflies

*Please only send photos/footage that you own the rights to. This should go without saying, but by sending in photos/footage, you are giving us permission to use it.

  1. I have 50 or more coloured slides taken in Bolivia in 1985. Would some of these images possibly be helpful. How best can I send some of these to Rosco Films?

    1. Hi, thanks for contacting us! If you have a means of scanning those slides to digital form and emailing them to us at ken [at] roscofilms.com, that would be idea. Unfortunately, I think at this point with the vast quantities of digital images we have, we won't have time to process slides ourselves. Thanks again. - Ken Ogasawara

    we have video on 8 mm. Do you have a way to transfer or include that. It is from the late 80's in Bangladesh
