SWOT Analysis: Going “HollyWoods” Project
STRENGTHS:
- Possession of the complete story of Hurricane Katrina
- Present control over all intellectual property
- Self-publishing business expertise
- IT and media savvy
- Contraflow Inc. 501c3 mission statement that allows for developing, publishing, producing anything to do with New Orleans, Katrina & responders
- The maintenance of relationships with the people of New Orleans and governmental (from the Beltway to Baton Rouge to the Bay Area) agencies and responders for over ten years.
- Formidable New Orleans research archives
- Persuasive writing communication skills
- No expiration date on the story of Katrina; the more years that pass, the more historical the event will be; the more appealing our new facts on the event will be.
WEAKNESS:
- Lack of human resources
- Lack of capital
- Lack of permanent home base of operation
- Loss of confidence and interests in the projects, internally; solely because of the length of time it took to master the true story of Katrina
OPPORTUNITIES:
- Shop and/or produce the first Katrina miniseries
- Shop and/or produce the first Post-Katrina feature length film
- Being able fund Afromation programs, projects and philanthropy; from publishing and producing profits
- Becoming the first to tell the complete and definitive story of Katrina
- Becoming the first this century to articulate the New Orleans three shades of Blackness in story form
THREATS:
- Competing Katrina miniseries project gets produced
- Competing Post-Katrina New Orleans feature length film project gets produced
- No current continuity for research data and intellectual property
Miniseries change the world when a screenwriter forces you to see an event like Hurricane Katrina in a way you never seen it before; e.g., American Slavery: ROOTS (1977)…
