Since 1995, Steve Hughes has been listening to strangers as they talk about their lives. Hughes gathers these stories, anecdotes, and vignettes, and publishes them as the zine, Stupor.
During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, when distance from friends and loved ones shaped the experiences of so many, the collaborators of Stupor’s newest issue, Touchy Feely, worked to translate print to video by taking to their smartphones and creating self-recorded individual performances of the stories which build this issue.
This new film, produced by Hughes and collaborator Scott Northrup, premieres on Daily Rush, coinciding with the launch of the accompanying print issue of Stupor.
