A Thousand Words

Synopsis
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what’s a picture of a word worth? Equipped with cameras and keen eyes, a filmmaker and a photographer went hunting through Edmonton to see what the city had to say. Graffiti, tattoos, t-shirts and signs – together with a compelling percussive soundscape – create an exciting visual dance through Edmonton’s public words.
