Fifty People, One Question: Restored from Benjamin Reece on Vimeo
At nearly eight minutes in length, this video is really more of a short film. It breaks the “ADD rule” for computer videos big time. But I wanted to post it here for a couple of reasons.
It shows the power of authentic storytelling. And it shows that something simple can be profound.
Yeah, the above was filmed in HD with a sound mixer vs. the "Flip Camera, Windows Movie Maker specials" I slap together. But instead of over thinking this, you should just watch the video and answer the question they pose. Enjoy!

I'm not sure why, but this made me tear up. Thank you for it.

Thanks for posting this project. I'm collaborating with Ben Reece to expand this project and produce films in more cities. We just shot this past weekend and will be releasing the new locations soon at Fifty People, One Question.
Check it out, and ask yourself the question…
