MOVE was launched in conjunction with the global charity MOVE for AIDs which was sponsored by HUGO BOSS. Vanity Fair hosted the New York screening as part of the event before it toured world wide. It also aired on Australian FOX Network and Pan Asian MTV as a cornerstone for World AIDs Day. MOVE chronicles the work of photographer James Houston as he single handedly created a charity which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for AIDs awareness and prevention. Richard is very proud to be a part of this amazing experience.
