ScatterPod :60 of Life #1 - "The Tale of Destibro"

2009-07-11T01:14:00.002-04:00

Hello ScatterPod viewers this is Michael Bekemeyer and I am bringing you Episode #1 of my new web series/experimental thing, ":60 of Life". It's a documentary web series/video podcast that will take a look at life, in sixty second slices. It's just a way for me to keep making films, while exploring different visual and editing styles.

I really hope you like this. I have some pretty cool ideas (I think, anyway) for different episodes. Pluse a bunch of the episodes, including this one, will have my kids in them. And kids, especially mine, are always cute. Right?

This episode is called "The Tale of Destibro" and you'll just have to watch to find out more.

Thanks ScatterPod viewers. I'll talk to you again soon.
