"The PROBLEMSOLVERS information video is a short introduction to our organization. We encourage people to let us help them and show how we live our lives devoted to this. In the video we see a number of people we have helped. For example one guy had a cat that was boring and we told him to make a hat for it. The cat now wears the hat on different occasions such as when it goes to the toilet. Now they live happy lives. In relation to the film PROBLEMSOLVERS will focus on important issues such as self-promotion. Artists have a tendency to do so and we are against it. One of us will show diagrams clarifying these issues in relation to our own praxis." www.themobilebox.com
