Street view short film

Google Maps contribution stories
1

Hey all,

I am a Filmmaker from New York. I recently filmed at the Google campus in San Fransisco and meet with the street view team. We got on the discussion of people submitting 360 photos from areas Google is not allowed to go themselves. I thought perhaps there is a beautiful, human story of people in these areas wanting to share their home with the world! One of the places I was thinking specifically was Iran. With tensions rising between the US and Iran, this would be a great way to share the people and places of Iran and deflect some of the rhetoric being spread by the US government. I think this would also be a great way to advertise this local guides community! The people at Google told me they would not be able to help with this but local guides would be the best place to connect with people who are contributing too Google. I look forward to speaking with anyone interested!!

Thanks

Corey

Thank you for your help! I am looking into other ways to connect to people. I haven’t had much traction other than a few likes. Do you have any other suggestions?

Best,
