John Cooney, Producer/Director

John Cooney is a student at University California, Davis. He has been working with Flash technology since his junior year in high school but has never submitted a movie for a national contest before. He heard about the Citizens for Global Solutions Flash Contest through a friend.  Cooney drew his inspiration for Neglected Sky from his class on science and society and from his personal concern for environmental issues. Over the course of a two week period, working for approximately three to four hours a day, Cooney produced Neglected Sky, which traces the ordeals of a little black stripe as it stops environmentally disastrous acts.

Citizens for Global Solutions, Co-Producer

Citizens for Global Solutions is a grassroots membership organization that envisions a future in which nations work together to abolish war, protect our rights and freedoms and solve the problems facing humanity that no nation can solve alone. We promote effective democratic global institutions that will apply the rule of law while respecting the diversity and autonomy of national and local communities.

Citizens for Global Solutions educates Americans about our global interdependence, communicates global concerns to public officials and develops proposals to create, reform and strengthen international institutions.
