Project Rebirth

Project Rebirth

Project Rebirth, Inc. is a non-profit organization using time-lapse photography that is currently documenting the day-by-day rebuilding of the former World Trade Center site in New York City. The project is directed by Jim Whitaker, President of Imagine Entertainment, the production company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.

Ten 35mm time-lapse motion picture cameras, situated in and around the site since the six-month anniversary of 9/11, will continue to shoot one frame of film every five minutes, seven days a week, until this historic reconstruction is completed. This technology will enable the public to view the entire reconstruction within a twenty-minute time span. The final film is intended for a future museum memorial installation.

History

Project Rebirth is a chronicle of the strength of the human spirit coping with disaster: the aftermath of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center. As a feature-length documentary combining time-lapse photography with intimate stories of ten people coping post 9/11, it is recording the minute-by-minute redevelopment of the WTC site and represents the first long term film record of ten people dealing with grief and trauma. Proceeds from the “Project Rebirth” documentary will be reinvested to endow a Project Rebirth Center for victims of and first responders to events of traumatic loss. The Project Rebirth Center will meet an urgent need to improve the specialized care and support needed during and after major disasters.

A feature length documentary is being created by a team of seasoned, successful Hollywood filmmakers who have been working together since 9/11. Their vision is a compelling film experience and a unique historical record and resource: a living testament to honor 9/11, and its victims and heroes. Along with the documentary film, an installation in the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the WTC and any other media created from our unique chronicles will serve to contribute to the memory of 9/11 for generations to come.

Proceeds from the “Project Rebirth” documentary will be reinvested to endow a Project Rebirth Center for victims of and first responders to events of traumatic loss. The Project Rebirth Center will meet an urgent need to improve the specialized care and support needed during and after major disasters.

Project Rebirth is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supported by the generous contributions of individuals, corporations and foundations.
