Books For Tributes

Our friend Shylah Addante, team member of Down with the Capitol and writer of the Finnick and Annie and The Hanging Tree shorts from Mainstay Productions, has asked us for help, and we are turning to you, dear fandom!

Let's get BOOKS FOR TRIBUTES.

Using donorschoose.org and with the Hunger Games fandom's help, she is looking to fund teachers across the country to get The Hunger Games in classrooms and libraries.

We have always lauded The Hunger Games for presenting issues like inequality and poverty in a very real way and making them accessible and teachable to the teens and young adults that read the books. But there is a very real problem. Many schools and classrooms simply cannot afford to get the Hunger Games books.

Take a minute to read Shylah's story below. We hope that it'll inspire you to give what you can to classrooms in need and spread the word.

When you donate please place the following somewhere in your personal message:

“I gave to this project because I'm with the Mockingjay, and support a literacy revolution in American classrooms. #books4tributes”

When you tweet about donating please use #books4tributes.

The Mockingjay Lives - Mockingjay: Burn Fan Film Teaser

The Kickstarter short fan film Mockingjay: Burn that we posted about a couple of months ago responded to Lionsgate's trailer today with a trailer of their own.

As they are looking to be done next month, we're hoping it can help tide us over until the official movie comes out. It's impressive what some fans can get together to accomplish, so we love helping to promote projects like these.

Check out the film's Kickstarter page to read more about it! Subscribe to KristensReality or follow Kristen on twitter to stay updated!

President Snow's Unity Address

And it is here, President Snow's Unity Address!

There was much speculation over what this was going to be. Johanna was a nice surprise, and it's very satisfying to finally see, after having read it years ago and imagining how the marketing for this movie would be, Beetee interrupting Snow's message.

Update:

Whoa looks like "due to overwhelming demand" CapitolTV is on standby (Here's version 2 of the Unity address).

Also it is confirmed on the official Mockingjay Tumblr that the Unity address will be in front of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
