“ALAN GRAHAM is an Oregonian who is one of 100 ‘agents’ selected by Ford Motor Company for its Fiesta Movement (www.fiestamovement .com),” wrote JENNY YIM-NORDQUIST of Ford. “The Fiesta Movement is a six-month-long social media campaign in which agents all across the U.S. are provided with European-spec Ford Fiestas. Each month, they are given a ‘mission’ … and share their mission experiences via social channels, such as YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.”
“Went to do an adventure movie about ‘The Goonies,'” Graham said, “but was really moved being in a seafaring town with such a rich and lush history. Was inspired by the Maritime Museum, the Maritime Monument, and my stay at the Cannery Pier Hotel to shift my video to honor those who have served the sea.”
“ASTORIA ADVENTURE” (http://tinyurl.com/gravepac), dedicated to those who have been lost at sea in the Graveyard of the Pacific, is a visual history lesson that runs about six minutes. It’s worth checking out.
