We’re Teaming Up

Chuck Fry, Ryan Blaske, and I are teaming up to tell stories about the city and people of South Bend.

While each of us has a history of telling local stories online, we feel a sense of urgency about the countless stories going untold and know that the only way for us to meet this urgency is to do it as a unit.

This unit, yet to be named, will be supported by a monthly membership of people who value the work that the three of us do and want to see these stories told. It’s a new idea to us, but it’s one that creators around the world are using to make the work of local storytelling a community-driven process.

We will create short films about the city and people of South Bend—films like Chuck’s Bike Man and Ryan’s Big Enough, Small Enough - South Bend in Transition—and will invite people like you to join a monthly membership that will come with benefits such as extra content, private screenings, merch, and… we’re still figuring it all out.

So if you value the work that the three of us do, we would love for you to join us in this project. And for now, the best way for you to do that is to add your name and email to the membership waitlist below. This doesn’t commit you to anything other than having an interest in the project and wanting to stay in touch as we figure it out.
