Telling Stories

Telling Stories
Tomas Nilsson, SlagsmÄlsklubben (Little Red Ridinghood)

I admit, I have watched this over and over as I love how Nilsson shows how an old story can be told "fresh." Some of what we are about as artists is making the "old" new again and being reminded why we tell ourselves stories to begin with.



Jason Nelson, Panhandle

This story about a storm on the Panhandle is taken from a random letter found in a used book. Nelson uses a variety of methods to not just tell the event but to give sense of it. With it comes the memory, confusion and connected-ness that comes when profound moments are told over time.
