Coming to a community near you...


We have a few dates confirmed for more Sidewalks Stories community screenings. A major outreach component of this project is to bring the documentary to a library branch, community center, school, or church to provide residents who do not have cable an opportunity to see Sidewalk Stories in its entirety.

On Monday, June 23, (3:30pm-5:30pm) we will be at the Dogwood Branch Library and On Saturday, June 28, (3:30pm-5:30pm) we will be at the Ocee Library Branch in Johns Creek.

Please visit for library location information and directions.

Upcoming screenings include Southwest Arts Center, Norwood Manor, and Auburn Avenue Research Library.

DVDs are coming!

This has been an interesting experience getting the DVDs mass produced. We wanted to make sure we made a quality wrapped, pressed, and packaged product available for purchase. However, redesigns of proofs and technical details such as being clear about the chapter markers we want has delayed the burn and shipping process. We appreciate your patience and trust you will not be disappointed with the final product.

Up, Up and Away!

Finally, we've reached the fun aspect of producing documentary media. It's been about one year of planning, training, driving, walking, and shooting and we're to the point of sharing this wonderful community project with any captive audience.

Our premiere screening event at the Central Atlanta-Fulton County Library was a success and we're planning to host more great events in the future, which will help make this project more accessibile to communities in the metro Atlanta area.

In addition to our local screenings, this documentary can be seen on People TV (Comcast Channel 24 in Atlanta) or you can catch clips on the web (www.peopletv.org/sidewalkstories).

The intention of this blog is to open up a line of communication for those who have seen Sidewalk Stories and wish to comment on the documentary's content. Keep in mind People TV's mission is to provide Atlanta a voice through access to media and opinios expressed in the content do not always represent the opinions of the organization. However, we love to here and discuss topics as well as learn about ways this project impacts the community.

Thanks,
Antoine Haywood
