Beckinfield's backstory

It began as a simple class project. The students of Beckinfield High School asked citizens to record video diaries. Their goal was to share small-town life through the eyes of its residents. The townsfolk took to this right away, uploading self-recorded video glimpses into their very private lives.

It quickly became clear that life in Beckinfield was far from ordinary. The quirky residents (one of whom can be you!) are constantly suspicious of the local government's denials of the town's oddities... snooping scientists, alleged UFOs, a seemingly haunted library, an earthquake that "caused no damage"...even the mysterious origins of the town itself.

Long ago, the Primbobi indians called this land home, but they were wiped out trying to protect its secret. Town founder Bradford Beckin knew the secret, but took it to his grave after a freak lightning strike.

How do these secrets affect residents today? It's Mass Participation TV — you tell us.
