Re: RE: How about a crowdsourced documentary about looping?



I think that a documentary of the live looping festivals would be more
manageable and perhaps meaningful to this crowd.  Making a full
fledged documentary about looping seems a really immense project
whereas the festival angle makes it only a huge task but has the
benefit of access to most everyone involved.

Personally I think it would be a fantastic project that would appeal
to a lot of folks and open up the concept to a larger audience.

Speaking of documentaries, anyone else watched Between the Folds?  I
don't say this often or lightly, but this movie blew my mind.  Its
ostensibly about paper folding and origami but....really, everyone who
enjoys thinking should give up an hour and absorb it.  And really, its
no so very different than looping if you think about it.
