Glitchtown 02: Texting With Ruth
Paul Echeverria
Grandma Ruth was born in Detroit during the early 1900’s. During her lifetime, she witnessed the rise and fall of the Great Motor city. By the time of her death, the Internet was in its infancy and the city was entangled in a perpetual state of glitch. Due to the limited availability of archival media, her rich personal history dissolved with her passing. Glitchtown 02: Texting With Ruth, presents a fictional conversation, between the filmmaker and his grandmother, about the history of Detroit.
