[Imc-makerspace] requesting... contributions for a documentary in Urbana

[Isak Griffiths]

Think about your time in Urbana... What is your favorite memory? What is
your strongest memory?



What makes Urbana special is the people, and we hope to capture the voices
of everyday people through their shoes and their stories.



May we please include your memories in a documentary called "In my shoes?"
It's the story of everyday people and their stories -- in their own shoes.



                The first time I saw my wife.

                Learning to drive.

                Getting lost.

                Being found.

                Hold your first grandchild.

                Saying goodbye to your son.

                [what is your story?]



All we need is your memory, where in Urbana that was, and the shoes you were
wearing at time. [We'll return them, or you can donate them to charity.] You
can bring them to the IMC in downtown Urbana, or we can come get them from
you.


The catch -- I am currently collecting the shoes & memories, and hope to
have them all in hand by early next week.


Please be a part of capturing the spirit of the people of Urbana.



Please tell your friends.



If you have any questions, please let me know.



Thank you,

Isak Griffiths
