Alphabet Soup is an investigation into the creative aspects of society. It is an interactive event in which the participant is given a set of predetermined instructions and asked to follow and interpret them in any way they choose. In this case the instruction was simple, "recite the alphabet." Minimal direction was given only for technical considerations and complete creative freedom was allowed.

The results captured in Alphabet Soup show a diversity of personalities and a mix of performances. Ranging from a brief few seconds to over five minutes we see the enthusiasm, meekness, uneasiness and triumph of society come through in the collective response.

These are some of the separate clips from Alphabet Soup.

Alphabet Soup has a running time of 24 minutes. It was shot with a Sony Digital 8 camcorder over a 2 month period in 2001.
