For the past three and a half years, Kevin Spenst has written a short story every day. On the day of his one thousandth story he set off on his bike to do a fifty stop reading tour of the city…in one day. From Main St. coffee houses to Yaletown shoe stores to downtown eastside street corners and everywhere in between, “One Thousand Stories” follows Kevin’s adventures in guerilla performance art as he tells his stories to audiences both appreciative and irritated. Soldiering on through mental distress, physical fatigue and Vancouver's ever present showers of rain to yell his tales at disinterested crowds or on public transit, Kevin finds his own increasingly desperate way to get his writing into the world.'One Thousand Stories' is filmed in a subject-matching naked eye guerilla style from the back of a tandem bicycle and features the writer's own out-there doodle art and an introduction to the thousand thoughtful, hilarious and sometimes just crazy stories he's been making up every day.In a city where independent writing and experimental style performance is seemingly out of fashion, this is a short documentary about a writer’s last shot for success and consequence. Welcome to the bizarre, sad and beautiful world of Kevin Spenst: 'One Thousand Stories.'
