Carlisle Tool Library Telethon

2020

live-streamed telethon-style community event

made with Valley Traction, The Carlisle Tool Library, and community music submissions



In this video collage of original video shorts, pandemic confusion, cooped-up energy, silliness, and our collective need to feel close to other people collided. The Telethon occurred near the date of the Tool Library's cancelled spring fundraiser. We broadcasted live online from various pod-households, invited several guests, and hung out online while we all tried to save the Tool Library from a big, bad hypothetical bank. Fortunately, a meteor crashed in and saved the day just in time.
