For the 2006 ShortDocs Challenge, the Third Coast was inspired by and collaborated with cartoonist and illustrator Matt Madden.
99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story invited anyone and everyone to produce short audio works incorporating specific guidelines: an opening sentence, three sounds, and an exact length of 2min, 30 seconds.
Four "Ways" were chosen as the 2006 ShortDocs, and in this session are presented by their producers, along with a few other noteworthy submissions. Madden also presents his book 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style, and talks about other "Oulipoian" projects - from music, film, and literature - that explore the idea of telling a single story from multiple perspectives.
Presenting the 2006 TCF ShortDocs: 99 Ways to Tell a Radio Story, is moderated by Julie Shapiro with guest Matt Madden, and features producers Sasha Aslanian, Zoe Irvine, Carma Jolly and Jill Summers.
