This video describes the project. It was produced by the Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) where we work-shopped the project last summer.

THE WAITING ROOM follows the life and times of patients and staff at Highland Hospital, a county hospital in Oakland, CA.

The project includes:

• THIS BLOG which features waiting room stories, conversations, and behind-the-scenes information about the project.
• A feature-length DOCUMENTARY FILM called The Waiting Room (now in production) that will follow several characters who pass through the waiting room.
• An INTERACTIVE WEB SITE (later this year) that will feature content gathered from an INTERACTIVE STORY BOOTH that will be placed in the waiting room and will allow patients and hospital staff to view, record, and share stories.

An interesting experiment in social media.
