from me to you / General Info / the why

Participants in this project will redefine what it is to share a video through the internet. According to the dominant model today, video-makers seek as large an audience as possible and therefore have entertainment as their primary goal. This project seeks to flip that model upside down. Precisely because of strict limits on viewership, people who make videos for this project should find that they are able to express aspects of themselves that are repressed during everyday life. Whether among co-workers, friends, or even family, we too often feel compelled to pretend to be other than we really are. We shouldn�t do that on the internet too. �From me to you� creates a safe space for people to go as deep into their psyche as they are willing.
