"  Name: James Haven  Age: 34  Job: Executive Board Director of Activist  Location: Los Angeles  He&amp;#039;s our first male MTAPF, and deservedly so, considering he comes from the same gene pool as Angelina Jolie (those lips! those eyes!). And, like his sister, James Haven isn&amp;#039;t just lounging around looking gorgeous \u2014 he&amp;#039;s using his influence and leverage to do good. His latest endeavor is stoking support for the 4th Annual Artivist Film Festival &amp;amp;amp; Artivist Awards, a showcase for movies that are, like him, looking to help out in the world.  Q: What is Artivist?   A: It&amp;#039;s a festival in Los Angeles highlighting movies that address human rights, animal rights, and environmental issues. Right now it&amp;#039;s gaining serious momentum. This year&amp;#039;s roster includes 50 films from 25 countries, including Glue Boys from Kenya, about street children who become addicted to sniffing glue as a way to escape their painful situations.  Q: How did you get involved?   A: I was invited to hand out awards to two of their films last year: Sita, a Girl from Jambu and Daughters and Sons, Preventing Child Trafficking in the Golden Triangle, both about child sex slavery.  Q: Do you really think movies can make a difference?   A: Definitely. They draw emotions out of us, change our minds \u2014 and not just documentaries. I&amp;#039;ve seen Transformers seven times. I cry every time.  Q: How can we see the films?   A: On our Website, artivists.org, we&amp;#039;re going to show clips of the movies and provide information on the issues. Eventually, most of the films will be available on DVD. Someday I hope the site becomes the main attraction, showing a rolling roster of films, and the festival is just to get together and talk about them.  Q: Did your sister get you started in philanthropy?   A: Angie was the catalyst. She&amp;#039;d say, &amp;quot;I just heard this is going on in Darfur ...&amp;quot; and I&amp;#039;d want to be involved. Also, I don&amp;#039;t want to constantly berate my father \u2014 I wish him well, and I hope he finds peace \u2014 but he put my mom through years of mental abuse, and it made me care especially for abandoned women and children. So that&amp;#039;s my religion \u2014 helping widows and orphans.  Q: You&amp;#039;re also doing AIDS work with Rick Warren, the megachurch pastor.A: I want to work with Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Christians \u2014 anybody who realizes that these are human issues. I&amp;#039;m heading up Saddleback Church&amp;#039;s Youth AIDS Summit, held on December 1, World AIDS Day, for thousands of junior-high and high-school students to listen, learn, and get inspired. It hits very close to home \u2014 my niece Zahara&amp;#039;s biological parents died of AIDS. Last summer I went to her home country, Ethiopia, and spent five weeks with AIDS orphans. Q: How are Zahara and her siblings, Maddox, Pax, and Shiloh?A: They&amp;#039;re unbelievable. Zahara likes to hide from Angie, who always knows, right when she walks in the room, that Z&amp;#039;s playing. And Angie starts with the &amp;quot;Where&amp;#039;s Zahara? Where&amp;#039;s Zahara?&amp;quot; Pax amazed me the first time he said my name. He didn&amp;#039;t know any English, and I hadn&amp;#039;t heard him say a word yet, so I wasn&amp;#039;t expecting it.  Q: So, we have to ask about that infamous Oscar kiss.A: So long ago! Can we please move forward? Someday I&amp;#039;ll get married, and on my wedding day they&amp;#039;ll be saying, &amp;quot;Okay, we have to ask about that infamous Oscar kiss ...&amp;quot;  Q: Sorry.A: That&amp;#039;s okay.
