How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love TV: This American Life Reloaded

ACT I. Ten years ago, Ira Glass was told about a few “laws of radio.” He mostly ignored them and, with his collaborators on “This American Life,” went on to resuscitate a flagging medium and reinvent storytelling. ACT II. What happens when listeners become viewers? The iconic show makes a move. Do not adjust your TV. You are watching “This American Life” ACT III. Images. The road to a reconceived show was paved with good intentions, failed experiments and lessons learned, which will be discussed. ACT IV. Stories from the new This American Life. Ira Glass (creator and host, This American Life), Chris Wilcha (director) and Adam Beckman (cinematographer).

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
