Fifty people, one question

8 December 2009 484 views 3 Comments

The folks behind 50p1q have been busy asking a lot of people the same question.

The premise is simple:

Exploring human connections through people and place.

What might happen when we venture far from home now? Will we find that London light around the corner? Will the rain hide all the dreamers out of sight? They might not want to play our little game this time – or we could look away and miss our chance. Or maybe just a bit of something out there will remind us why we take the time to ask.

It’s a simple question and the answers can lead us anywhere. So go ahead, ask yourself…

Fifty People, One Question: London from Fifty People, One Question on Vimeo.

“Where would you want to wake up tomorrow?”

A grand question with so many possibilities. You could choose Paris, or a secluded tropical beach, or maybe even the comfort of your own bed. Fifty People One Question takes the intriguing idea of asking a simple question and seeing where it leads. The result is a creative look into how different people think all over the world. This video was filmed on a street in London, but the Fifty People One Question group originally began their journey in New Orleans and more recently, filmed a 50q1p clip in Brooklyn, NY.

    Just to clarify two little things-

    Thanks!!!
