For over 20 years, Justin Hall has shared his life online. From a 19-year-old student experimenting with sex, drugs, and the Internet, readers have followed the most intimate details of his life, including his father’s suicide, a failed startup, a marriage and painful divorce. Now, one of blogging’s pioneers is making an independent film and video series to make sense of it all.
Recorded in September 2014 at XOXO, an arts and technology festival in Portland, Oregon celebrating independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love. For more, visit http://xoxofest.com.
