Back in January, we introduced you to Todd Bieber, who found a canister of film in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and made a YouTube video to find its owners. Well, two months later, Bieber achieved his mission, tracking down the owners in Paris.
Bieber, who works as director of production and content at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, was cross-country skiing in Prospect Park when he came across a lone canister of film. Instead of leaving it be, Bieber decided to develop the film and, upon seeing the gorgeous pictures of a group of travelers on holiday, he set out to meet the folks in the snaps.
Through the wonders of the Internet, YouTube and viral culture, the video finally made it into the hands of the film's owners, and Bieber was able to connect with them in Paris.
"Basically I made a simple silly choice and it led to one of the most amazing/crazy experiences in my life," Bieber says. "So I'm going to keep doing stuff like that."
