The itching begins
“You really gotta to be ruthless about what’s interesting and urgent and important. When you
are making a documentary you don’t know what the answer is, but the question has really
got to, make you want an answer.”
. lucy walker . documentary film maker .
“I was struck by the fact that once someone’s story is told, the connection fades and you
never know what happened to them after”

Scratching the itch
He doesn’t plan his work; instead he enjoys improvising/ “freestyling”, and just
works with what he comes across, “get inspired and do the work”.

“‘Pursuing everything’ - Researches, read every thing, go to places, study languages, talk to
everybody. You have to know every thing, the film itself is the tip of the iceberg, what’s underneath
the surface is a whole giant understanding of not just what’s important but also what’s important to
be understood, avoided, explained.”

Collective itching bed bug style
“I think it would be an absolutely amazing thing for one day to be an entire map of the
world and you can click on any different region in any part of the world and scroll
through the faces of people who live in that place.”
. brandon stanton . photographer .
“No matter what I do to the piece, as long as I did something to those advertisements and
that saturation, it’s political. It’s anti-media, anti–established art world.”
. posterboy . artist at large .
“I want to help grow a community of storytellers that allows us to collect and map our stories over time.
We want to pioneer a new form of participatory journalism, and create a library of human experience.”

And where the bug came from
“New York, gives you the opportunity to make mistakes and try stuff. Meeting
musicians, artists, crazy visionaries/ people....I even tried DJing. New York enabled me
to do anything in any attitude.”
. lucy walker . documentary film maker .
I find most of my inspiration when walking through the city, or jogging. NYC is a very
stimulating city, which so much to see, notice, and even dislike.
. andrew shea . graphic designer .
I realized the power of storytelling when I shared the story of how my father was kidnapped for 6 months in
Colombia, and was amazed to see how much hope my story after being shared on the radio had given other
families.
