2006 TCF ShortDocs - 99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story

Third Coast Festival

In 2006, we teamed up with cartoonist Matt Madden, and crafted 99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story. Together with Matt we designed a set of rules. Every submission had to: 1) start with some manifestation of: "To begin with, they never got along."; 2) include a pre-recorded voice, rhythmic noise, and exclamation; and 3) last exactly 2:30 min.

Location:

Chicago, IL
