1000 Journals

(Documentary, 2007, USA, 88 minutes)
Director / Screenwriter / Producer: Andrea Kreuzhage

Take a thousand sketchbooks, glue covers on them, stamp them a thousand times, hand number them from 1 to 1,000, and send them out into the world. Then create a website and try to keep track of them all. This is the story of 1,000 Journals, a global, collaborative project, which was started in the year 2000 by a graphic designer in San Francisco who calls himself 'Someguy.' 1,000 Journals shares the experience of their worldwide journeys, and chronicles the self-governed collaboration of thousands of random people who have added to this global 'message in a bottle.'
