Duncan, Ben, Dave and Jonnie from the Buried Life set out in the Summer of 2006 with a camera on a mission to complete a list of “100 things to do before you die” and for every item they accomplish on their list, they help a stranger achieve one of theirs. The documentary of their journey is set to release sometimes in 2008.

Up until now, they have crossed out 47 items off their list and have helped more than 50 strangers with their life goals.

Life moves fast and we wanted to slow down and enjoy it. To do that we had to ask ourselves some important questions, most importantly: What do I need to achieve or experience before I die? When we turned the question on strangers, we were fascinated with the answers we received. Given the ultimate deadline, people are forced to ignore the day-to-day trivialities that sometimes bury their lives and evaluate their most personal dreams and ambitions. Ultimately, we want to get people excited about doing whatever it is they dream about doing. Why wait? We are also curious to know about the state of our generation, our values and the role we are play in today’s society. Really though, we want to have fun and help people.

I myself, have a list of 10 goals a year stuck on the PC monitor. Most of the time, I can only achieve 5 -6 goals that i set out at the beginning of the year. Every morning when i wake up, the goals list is the first thing i read.
