Level Zero is a documentary movie about EMS in Alamdea County, California from film director and paramedic Thaddeus Setla. In the movie the EMTs, Paramedics, and firefighters essentially answer the question why are you a paramedic and what do you do. Along the way you learn that through their words and actions these people want to help and serve their community.

The production quality and design is outstanding from a professional film maker. Imagine how powerful it would be for your organization to have a series of short movies of your employees answering these questions:

• Why are you an EMT or Paramedic?
• What do you do for your community?

With some simple hardware, free software, and social media tools you could create a series of videos for recruiting candidates, public education, and service marketing to the government agencies that control your funding. This is what I would use to create a basic set of movies:

• Flip handheld video camera for recording video and audio
• Windows Movie Maker for editing clips, adding audio, and inserting titles
• Simple backdrop in training room, ambulance, or inside ambulance
• Post videos to YouTube
• Embed YouTube html code on my websites
• Announce your video with Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and other social networking tools

Look for inspiration to do your own videos, to continue your service to community, and to constantly strive for improvement in Level Zero. The password to play the video is “levelzero”
