Summary: Dave Gardner is the director and co-producer of the new film, GrowthBusters. After a successful career producing a PBS series and award-winning business films for such clients as American Airlines, Coca-Cola, IBM, and even Enron, Dave realized he was part of an unsustainable system failing to provide most people with happiness and fulfillment. So he decided to focus his filmmaking skills on exploration of that system. His non-profit documentary project, Hooked on Growth, is the first of what Dave expects to be a series of groundbreaking films about genuine sustainability. Katie Elmore, is interviewed in the film Growthbusters, in addition to being the Vice President of Communications and Programs for Population Media Center, which uses entertainment education strategies, (aka: soap operas), in countries all over the world to help promote women's empowerment, the use of family planning, reproductive health and child education. Katie is a young woman with a global perspective, dedicated to justice, health and sustainability work. www.populationmedia.org
