Grey Areas

This is my submission to the Third Coast International Audio Festival ShortDocs Challenge 2012 http://www.thirdcoastfestival.org/competitions/shortdocs/2012 The challenge was to: "Produce a short audio story (2 -3 minutes) that features at least two of your neighbors, includes a color in the title, and contains three consecutive seconds of narrative silence. Stories of all styles are welcome – from documentary to drama - and everything in between." One sentence summary: This piece is called Grey Areas and it's about how close I am to my dad, in a literal sense, it's also a tribute to the the neighbour we buried in his back garden. 85 word Bio: Dave Pickering is 30 years old and lives in East London.
