GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Featurette - "Guardians of Good"
Marvel has released a cool featurette for James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy that gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the sci-fi adventure film. It includes interviews with the cast and crew and shows off a bunch of great footage!
The featurette is called "Guardians of Good," and it was released as part of a campaign to search for "young men and women (ages 14-18) from across the United States to share their stories of how they are bettering their communities through service, science or innovation, and gives them the opportunity to connect with a galaxy of Peer Guides—who are already doing great things—to learn from their successes."
I've included more details on the campaign below the video. Guardians of the Galaxy is set to be released on August 1st!
Application forms, eligibility requirements, official contest rules and more information are available at http://www.marvelguardiansofgood.com.
Applicants for GUARDIANS OF GOOD will participate in online sessions with Peer Guides, who will include representatives from generationOn, Broadcom MASTERS®, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” Ultimate Mentor Leadership Council. Peer Guide sessions are scheduled to take place between June 13, 2014 and June 21, 2014. The Peer Guides will discuss their personal stories of service, science or innovation as well as learnings and advice.
Following the Peer Guide sessions, all applicants will then submit a short video explaining how they are improving the galaxy and what inspiration and guidance they received from their Peer Guides. The five best video entries will be selected as winners.
The five winners will each receive: Two round-trip tickets to Hollywood, including hotel accommodations, from July 20 through July 23, 2014, to be on the red carpet at the World Premiere of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” on July 21, 2014; an invitation to the first-ever GUARDIANS OF GOOD INNOVATION & SERVICE SUMMIT on July 22 at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, where professionals and peers will share their knowledge; a backstage tour of the Disneyland Resort; and a red-carpet screening of the film at a Dolby® Atmos TM Theatre in or near the winner’s hometown.
