10min4walls (Ft. Skewville)

I recently discovered this site, bumbling across the double-U’s. A very happy accident, indeed…

10min4walls is made by Rebekah Lynn Potter. She visits artists of al kinds (musicians, street artists, dancers, painters, photographers and what not…) and talks to them. Simple as that. The results are short, 10 minute interviews, a brief look into the work and life of these people.

I love this sort of thing, you know that by now… Studio visits, artists talks,… Can’t get enough of them. What’s special about this series of interviews is that Rebekah goes to talk, not only to the famous and successful artist, but speaks with various people at different stages of their careers.

Here’s one of the videos to wet your appetite (a visit to Skewville), but be sure to check out some of the others on 10min4walls.

 

 

At the time of this writing, Rebekah did 8 interviews, all around Brooklyn. She hopes to expand the show in the future, visiting cities all across the US. Also, when she started this project, Rebekah had no formal training as a journalist whatsoever. She just dived in with some cheap and basic equipment and a lot of curiosity. Now, she would like to get herself some better stuff, to make it all look that little bit more professional. To do so, she launched a fundraising campaign at Kickstarter. Check it out if you think this is something you would like to support…
