A journey through San Francisco
One Thousand Stories is a documentary film directed, filmed and produced by Tasha Van Zandt about the artist JR. The film follows artist JR’s Chronicles of San Francisco Mural which brought together over 1,200 people from all walks of life into one work of art and is currently exhibited at SFMOMA. JR and his team spent a month roaming the city of San Fransisco, parking their 53' trailer truck in 24 different locations, to capture anyone who wished to participate, directly from the streets. As a result, over 1,200 people have been filmed, photographed and interviewed; each person choosing the way they are represented in the fresco. The Oscar qualifying film has screened at museums and festivals around the world and is currently available on Curia.
