Mr. President, this was definitely a good one! Could you please tell something more about this? Is it for a competition and more importantly, were you the director/did you write the screenplay?
Since the competition in looking for seven winners from seven different regions, we are not competing against each other as we can submit the videos either under the country of residence or the country of origin. The American family will submit their two videos as American and European because they currently live in Sweden.
About my video itself, yes, I conceived it, wrote the script, directed the actors, operated the camera, edited and mixed the sound and made the music track for the video on a Yamaha synthesizer.
Kind thanks for your excellent clarification, Mr. President! Your explanatory message filled in great many obvious holes in my knowledge.
Please pardon my ignorance for raising the question about your relation with the video; your close connection to it should not have come as a surprise. Furthermore, the fact that you practically did everything else except acting is an achievement to congratulate for!
I will follow this matter more closely in the times to come. I also take this opportunity to wish you superior luck in the competition!
All the best for you other future endeavors as well, Mr. President. I am eagerly awaiting the next time we will meet.

Mr. president, it is with great pleasure that I receive your request for more information. And with equal pleasure I attempt to explain bellow:
The video is to be submitted to a worldwide competition which requires that all submissions complete the sentence "Democracy is...".
More submissions from other participants as well as more information on the contest can be found at http://www.youtube.com/democracychallenge
The acting family lives in South Skåne, Sweden. I spent some time in South Skåne with an American family which also participates in the same contest through two different videos in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvfb5B4sZDQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrUnte38p9k
