Radar Three - Cassettes From My Ex
When Jason Bitner (FOUND magazine) discovered a mixtape in his mother’s basement from teenage love, Kate, he realized there must have been a reason he’d held onto the tape for so long. The reason? Memories. Realizing there were more stories of teen heartbreak and discovery from the cassette generation to be found, Jason wrote his, asked friends to contribute, and is now seeing the project go from tape to storytelling site to print anthology. Julie Gerstein (writer, NYLON, Dazed & Confused), Vinnie Angel (filmmaker & product designer), Michael Hearst (writer & composer) and The Magnetic Field’s Claudia Gonson discuss their involvement and the stories behind their tapes.

Wait for Me (Ross Kauffman)
“Wait for me. Wait for me and I will return.” Thus begins an extraordinary film that began a few years ago when a friend of filmmaker Ross Kaufmann casually mentioned in conversation the disappearance of a brother several decades years earlier. Kaufmann became intrigued with the 'Into Thin Air'-style story of John, a young man who set off on a bicycle trip through Europe and eventually to India to find himself - and was never heard from again. Alternating between John’s loving mother describing her son and his journey, her voiceover as she reads aloud from his letters to her during his trip, and home movies of John, first as a child with an adorable smile and later as a young man, Kaufmann depicts a life’s search for meaning. With heartbreaking sensitivity, he allows John’s mother to tell the story that only a mother could tell, and to explain how, 22 years later, she has followed her son’s written plea to continue to wait for him.
