The Big Read PSAs

Produced by Louis Alvarez, Andrew Kolker, and Peter Odabashian

 

The Big Read is a new initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts.  Citizens in individual communities across the country sign up to read major American novels together as part of a civic plan to promote good reading.  Hundreds of communities have participated already.

 

The Center for New American Media has been commissioned to produce promotional video and radio spots for The Big Read initiative.  Click on a book title below to watch or listen to the PSAs. Real Player required to view video.
