Last summer we had the opportunity to document the PostSecret Community Picnic. PostSecret is an online art project started by Frank Warren. Hundreds of thousands of people have mailed him postcards with secrets emblazed upon them. Every Sunday he posts a handful on his blog. These powerful messages have connected with so many people, a community has formed around the project. The PostSecret Picnic was their first face to face meeting, and we had the pleasure of participating. Enjoy!
Check out Frank’s beautiful books on Amazon:
The new book, PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God, is coming out in the fall.
Brilliant idea, wonderful community, beautiful video.
Well, that was beautiful in every way. It’s really nice to see posts at Ryan Is Hungry again, too.
i’m 15.
i’ve never had anything to look
forward to usually.
i live life as it comes, and let things come to me.
but ever since the first sunday i visited PSC’s website, it’s
what i look forward to..
ever sunday, i sit on my computer and just explore the website..
it’s made a difference. it really has.
“free your secrets & become who you are” beautiful words, marvelous video, amazing community. i’m inspired to share w/communities i enter & join in to witness how online communities can hearten the soul & allow people to be more humane.
Great video, great editing. Glad to see you’ve maintained a relationship with him since the interview you did for Epic Fu.
Just got around to seeing this. Wow. Pretty amazing emotional connections. It’s incredible what freeing yourself of secrets – and knowing there are people who understand – can do. Great work!
Great video. Great story. Glad there’s a ryanishungry.com.
cool idea. it’s great to see people connecting in this way
what a profound way for people to release, share and connect. my secret is that i don’t know where to begin with my secrets.
can’t believe I’m just watching this now -this is such an important video because this kind of DIY anonymous art, (ala Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher’s “Learning to Love You More”) is becoming so much stronger and more resonant because there is no business machine that is simulating moments, characters or ideas but simply facilitating a platform for us to create for one another. it’s art at its fullest potential I feel.
thanks for posting this.
