Blogumentary
The blogosphere is being documented in bits in pieces through words, audio, and video but has anyone set out to capture the spirit of blogging in film? Well, someone has, and here’s his own words to explain his vision.
“Hi there. My name is Chuck Olsen, and I produced an independent documentary about blogs.
We live in an age where everyone is a mediamaker. Blogs empower us to tell our story, spout and debate our politics, and share ourselves with the rest of the world ? or at least the 5 people who read our blog. What compels us to blog? How does it affect us, each other, our work, the mediascape, the world? Do bloggers have anything in common? Does the blogosphere have a life of it’s own, like the emergent behavior of an ant colony excited by the discovery of food?
These are some of the questions I had in mind while making this documentary. I think I found some of those answers, and of course new questions. Blogumentary was created, and continues to grow, in new and unexpected ways. This is a conversation and a collaboration - We Media.”
