This is where My Small Story was born. “Each one teach one and each one feed one.” A conversation with my mom’s friend, Pat, a Detroit urban farmer , filmed at my mom’s hospital room during the last days of her life, February 2010. This was when I knew I wanted to share stories from my hometown of Detroit, my current home NYC and other cities and countries across the globe I have visited or lived. 2 months after this filmed conversation, I launched http://www.MySmallStory.com
MY SMALL STORY
Over the past 15 years I have traveled, filmed and and acquired a library of over 6,000 hours. From the recording studio in NYC to South African Safari’s, I have filmed my conversations and watched my library grow. On April 26, 2010, I launched www.MySmallStroy.com in NYC as a way to share insight. My Small Story contextualizes life through a collection of unscripted filmed conversations with small businesses, entrepreneurs, artists and everyday people filmed, edited & shared weekly by LaRon Batchelor – a videographer/ethnographer with 15 years experience filming conversations in 4 continents.
