Hi!

I'm finally launching the new video project to wish Chris Colfer a 🎂Happy Birthday🎂 from all of us! The title will be "How you make a difference"

For those new to this, I've been organising videos for his birthday for TEN years now 😱 I try to get together as many people as possible, I choose a theme -something about Chris obviously, ask people to send a pic or video and then I edit everything together! What I love the most, and hopefully he likes too, is putting together messages from his fans from all countries and ages, all brought together by love and appreciation of him.

This year's theme will be "how you made a difference" + ..aliens 😜 to support his new book! Hope you'll participate!

You'll have to submit TWO PARTS, so you have to send either 2 videos or 2 pics, one for each part!

➡️PART 1) I want you to share the reason why you think Chris made a difference, it can be in the world, for you, whatever.

HOW TO SUBMIT: You can:

-🎥 record a video of yourself telling about why he made a difference. Video lenght: max 20 seconds

or

-📸 write down the reason why he made a difference on a cardboard, take a pic of the cardboard with yourself in it if you want. Pic: max 3 lines sentence

->the video can be of yourself talking, appearing or not appearing if you're camera shy, or showing the cardboard

->the pic can be of yourself with the writing, or just the writing

➡️PART 2) I want you to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY with an ALIEN- THEMED pic or video! It means you have to include something alien related to your vid or pic, such as:

an ufo-themed t-shirt, a print of the cover of his upcoming book "Roswell Johnson saves the word", drawing of something alien-related to show in the pic/vid, you dressed up, you showing some alien themed book, being in an UFO relevant place.. whatever comes to your mind!

HOW TO SUBMIT: You can:

- 🎥 film yourself wishing him a happy birthday with the alien related detail

or

-📸 write down the birthday wish on a cardboard with the alien related detail and take a pic with yourself in it if you want.

->the video can be of yourself talking and not appearing if you're camera shy

->the pic can be of yourself with the writing, or just the writing

TIPS!

-> Write in BIG letters, take the pic/video in good lighting!

-> DON'T PUT BACKGROUND MUSIC in the videos, if it's copyrighted it will be muted on YouTube!

Send everything to [email protected] and add your NAME and COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

⚠️Deadline is May 22nd!!!⚠️

I will post a youtube link of the video on X and the vid on Instagram on May 26th - the day before his bday! My X and IG -> mylifeisathread

Hi!

Hope you are all ready to take part in a new project for Chris' birthday!

Last year has been amazing, let me remind you that Chris told us we mean the world to him! ❤️

So I hope you will take participate in this year's project, I couldn't be more grateful for each and everyone of you participating!

As usual, I don't do this to get attention, and you know you are all free to make him your birthday wishes, but I love the idea of showing him how much he brings people together. That's why, in addition to all your individual tweets, I hope you'll want to join me in this project, to let him have a video full of love and positive thoughts from many different people.

Here the 2 parts that will compose the video, please submit BOTH of them!

----------

PART 1: I want you to choose a WORD that defines what his books mean to you.

i. e. "your books mean magic to me" "your books make me happy" "your books inspire me". Be creative, think of everything positive his books make you feel!

You can send a video OR a picture.

VIDEO: Film a video where you tell one short sentence including the word about his books you chose. If you are camera shy, you can talk without showing your face! Please put his books in the background or hold them!

Max lenght 10 seconds.

PIC: write down the short sentence including the word that defines what his books mean to you, take a PIC of it plus the books and yourself if you want.

----------

PART 2: I want you to say: "You make/made me.." and very briefly explain something that Chris inspired you to be/feel/do. Then wish him happy bday!

i. e. "you make me want to be a better person" "you make me want to smile more" "you make me happier/stronger" "you make me want to be a writer" "you made me start singing"

You can send a video OR a picture.

VIDEO: film a video telling "you make/made me..." and say what Chris inspired you to do/feel +WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY! If you are camera shy, you can talk without showing your face!

REMEMBER! I need you to send two separate videos or pics, one for each part.

----------

TIPS:

-You can speak in your own language but send me an English translation!

-Always prefer HANDWRITTEN notes->more personal.

-IF YOU WRITE A NOTE, REMEMBER: very clear writing, big letters, good lighting!

-If you didn't read Chris' books you can just participate for the PART 2.

DEADLINE MAY 22ND.

SPREAD THE WORD! I'm @mylifeisathread both on twitter & IG for any questions!

I will post the video link on my Youtube channel and Twitter (MyLifeIsAthread) on May 26th, the day before his birthday. From then you'll be able to tweet him the link, as usual being respectful and not spamming him! Last year he replied to us weeks later!

Thank you so much! ❤️

I decided to make again a video for Chris' birthday this year. Spreading love is always the right choice and we all need it during this rough time.

I need to say a BIG thank you to the many people who supported me last year when I was doubting myself, you know who you are, and to those who every year keep participating. And a thank you in advance to anyone who will take part in the video this year.

This is the theme I came up with, hope you'll like it ❤️

How to send your participation, either with a video or a pic:

________________

PART 1

-film a VIDEO of yourself telling your favorite Chris' book AND the reason why you'd recommend his books/him as writer (please, hold your favorite book in it!). Or film the book and just talk if you're camera-shy

+wish him a happy bday

(you can speak in your own language but send a translation!)

or

-write down your fave Chris' book AND the reason why you'd recommend his books/him as writer, take a PIC of it plus the book (and yourself if you want) +wish him a happy bday

Always prefer HANDWRITTEN notes->more personal.

________________

PART 2

-make a separate video OR a separate pic telling/writing down "YOU'RE AN AMAZING WRITER!" in your language.

FOR ALL THE INTERNATIONALS, HERE I NEED YOU TO USE YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE!

This sentence will go in a separate part of the video, so make sure it's a different vid/pic from the 1st one!

Let's bring back again the multiculturalism of his fandom! ❤️

________________

TIPS:

-use good lightning, very clear writing, big letters

-no length restrictions, but please keep it brief, it gets really hard to read long letters in videos.

-please don't send me files by DMs!

Send everything to:

[email protected]

as an attachment and ADD YOUR NAME +COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

DEADLINE MAY 22ND.

(If the video is too big for the attachment, send it via wetransfer or upload it as a not listed video on YouTube and send me the link)

I'm @mylifeisathread both on twitter & IG for any questions.

SPREAD THE WORD!

I'll post the video link on my twitter and YouTube channel (MyLifeIsAThread) on May 26th (the day before his bday)

You can tweet him the link, as usual being respectful and not spamming him! We do it to show him our love and appreciation, not for attention ❤️

Hope you will be a part of it! Thank you!

Hugs,

I thought I would use as an inspiration this difficult time we're living, trying to dispel the negative thoughts with good and positive ones.

We are all being affected by the situation on different levels.

I've read many of you are using Chris' books to get distracted, feel better, escape from reality for a while. Not to talk about the teachers reading his books for their classes, or the parents entertaining their children.

That is the theme of this year's birthday project.

I want you to focus on the POSITIVE THOUGHTS that Chris and his books inspire, to help you holding on when you need it the most, or the HAPPINESS he brings to your everyday life.

I want you to wish him a happy birthday while explaining, in a video or a short letter, how Chris and/or his books inspire positivity and help you deal with your everyday life.

The detailed instructions:

-lf you make a video (as usual recommended for a more personal message❤️, but not mandatory)

1)you wish him a happy 30th bday

2)you explain how&why he inspires positivity when you need it (it can be his books or about him, his singinig/acting.. anything)

3)you can also show in the video the results of his positive inspiration if they are artistic- like drawing, creating costumes, performing; otherwise, it's fine to just explain your emotions.

Video max 2 minutes long!

-If you write him a letter:

1)you wish him happy 30th bday

2)you write in the letter how&why he inspires positivity when you need it (it can be his books or about him, his singing/acting.. anything) and you send a picture or a scan of the letter. You can also send an additional picture of yourself, to show him our lovely faces in person. ❤️ In the pic you can also show the results of his positive inspiration if they are artistic- like drawing, creating costumes, writing.

The letter can be up to one page long, but it has to be a VERY CLEAR PIC and perfectly readable. It's better if the letter extends orizontally and not vertically (explanatory pic attached), so it shows bigger in the video.

Don't forget to be very enthusiastic, colorful and fun about the BIRTHDAY WISH , it's his 30th and this is first of all a bday video!!!

All letters and videos must be sent in attachment to [email protected]

PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME (or nickname), AGE AND COUNTRY OF ORIGIN to the email.

Please NO VIDEOS as twitter private messages, it's really hard to download them.

If the video is too big for email, you can upload it on youtube as "not listed" and send me the link, or upload it on wetransfer and send me the link.

Deadline is May 22nd, you can find me on twitter @mylifeisathread for any question.

People from all around the world together in a video, telling Chris all the reasons why he inspires us, saves us, makes us smile.

Happy Birthday, Chris!
