The Sandnstrand Project

[Sandnstrand]

Hey guys, I’m working on sort of a hybrid documentary/mockumentary about Sandnstrand, one of the first gay personalities on YouTube. It’ll have some of his old videos and some recent interviews. The plan is to eventually post it on an online site where it can be seen for free, but if it turns out well I’d also like to submit it to a couple of lower-tier LGBTQ film festivals.

I’m looking for a few former viewers to contribute some content. If you’re interested, what I’d like is either a short video clip or an audio clip and a profile-type photo, sharing one or two thoughts, memories, feelings, or whatever on Sandnstrand. It can be as anonymous as you like - face or no face, real name or screen name... but no NSFW. You can visit the page I set up on Facebook - The Sandnstrand Project - to find more details and contact info (they're in the first post on that page), and I'll be posting updates on the documentary as it progresses.

Questions? Come at me! Thanks!

Looking forward to this project! If you’re still gong forward with the mockumentry would you take any written submissions? I wouldn’t mind drafting something up

I'm still going forward with the project but I didn't get much response from this request. I think people assumed I had something more elaborate in mind. I was really only looking for a few quick sound bites, a bunch of one-liners from various people that I could present rapid fire in between the film segments, sorta like they were clips from on-the-street interviews.

I think what I might do is just pull various lines out of the comments people have posted here and other places, and from old emails I managed to save, and then get some friends or whoever to read the lines... I live in LA, it shouldn't be too hard to find some aspiring voice actors who'll read a line for free, right?

For your part, if you can come up with a line or two that shares your view of Sandnstrand in general or recollects your own viewing experience, great! Written is fine, I can take it from there. Thanks!

Oops I should have hit Reply to you so you'd get a notification, instead of just posting a new comment. One more time...
