Why can't the FLOSS community do something like
this?

The FLOSS community is doing something like this.  It's called the Digital Tipping Point.  It is a documentary movie about how Free Open Source Software is changing global culture.  We are releasing all of our footage under a cc by-SA license, and we are using all FOSS tools to make the movie.  We have given away 100 hours of raw footage so far here

Our home page is here:

We are looking for volunteers.  We need sys admins, rough video editors, compositors, fundraisers, etc. 

The focus of the documentary is the attempt to move one public middle school to FOSS, which becomes a microcosm for the big picture.
