A Week in Israel

Filmmaker and cultural visionary Joshua Asen created this video at the Imagination Age Salon yesterday from his week-long trip to Israel.

I spent yesterday working with Josh Asen, who speaks Hebrew, Arabic, English, French and Dutch and sees the world and the people in it through such a beautiful prism that I can't believe the State Department hasn't commissioned his services to document events like the recent Russian Tech Delegation so that the world, or at least the taxpayers funding the important mission, can see how it all went down. While he's a spectacular director, he's also a creator of events-- check out his incredible I (heart) Hip Hop in Morocco.

In addition to guest blogging for The Imagination Age, (check out his Israel x Obama: Yes We Can Co-Opt the Brand) Josh Asen works with The Imagination Age on initiatives that create new cultural insight for the global business community, particularly between the United States and the Middle East and the United States and Europe, as well as within the global diaspora community. Our work includes a series of global summits aimed at generating vibrant action from the nascent ideas that will continue dominating the business landscape for even the unforeseeable future. The spring summit for the Imagination Age will take place in Amorgos, Greece, a place with an ancient history in a country that has serious economic problems today. Our fall summit will take place in Berlin.
