For Nat'l. Novel Writing Month: A whole new genre of storytelling, perfect for movies, books and TV

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Nov. 1, 2017 - PRLog -- For National Novel Writing Month #NaNoWriMo...and for every month of the year, from now until forever more...

INTRODUCING...A WHOLE NEW GENRE OF STORYTELLING (PERFECT FOR MOVIES, BOOKS AND TV)...

THE GENRE IS STORIES TOLD THROUGH VIDEO TOMBSTONES...

THE BOOK IS CALLED "CEMETERY OF LIES"

It's by Robert Barrows, the inventor of a video tombstone called the Video Enhanced Gravemarker (U.S. Patent #7,089,495).

"Video tombstones will create a whole new genre of storytelling, perfect for movies, books and TV," according to Robert Barrows, the author of a book called "Cemetery of Lies" and the inventor of a video tombstone called the Video Enhanced Gravemarker (U.S. Patent #7,089,495).

"Video tombstones will have a tremendous impact on many aspects of society," says Barrows.

"Plus, video tombstones will also create a lot of controversy and they will also create some fascinating free speech issues, because who knows what people might say from beyond their grave through their video tombstone...and will it be truth or lies?"

Along these lines, Barrows wrote "Cemetery of Lies." Cemetery of Lies is a collection of intimate secret confessions, as told from beyond the grave, through video tombstones. The stories are about life and love, sex and romance, good and evil, success and money, Heaven and Hell, and truth and lies...with insights and advice "from beyond the grave" about almost every aspect of our lives, says Barrows.

"Cemetery of Lies" is an easy read for a mass audience and the writing is sexy, provocative and humorous, too," says Barrows...and since November is National Novel Writing Month...

...What kinds of things would you write and record for your own video tombstone?" he asks.

*Would you just say sweet things to loved ones?

*Would it finally be time to tell your side of the story?

*Would it finally be time to make amends?

*Or would it be time to say everything that you never had the guts to say nor the opportunity to say while you were still alive?

Imagine the controversies that will arise once video tombstones start appearing in cemeteries on a regular basis...

...Video tombstones will make cemeteries fascinating places to visit, and cemeteries will "come alive" with all kinds of stories that might be told through video tombstones.

They say "Dead men tell no tales"...Well, not anymore! Wait until you hear what they might be saying about you down at the graveyard...and will it be truth or lies? And what kinds of things would you record for your own video tombstone if you knew you were going to die today? Will your own words provoke a lot of controversy and a lot of free speech issues?

HERE ARE SOME OF THE FREE SPEECH ISSUES THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE THROUGH VIDEO TOMBSTONES:

1) What if someone confesses to a crime or makes an incrimination?

2) What if the say something slanderous?

3) What if they say something anti-governmental?

4) What if they leak state secrets?

5) Do the dead have free speech rights, too?

6) And what can you do if they say something that is true or untrue or not so nice about you?

A) How can you pull the plug, and whom can you sue?

B) Worse yet, how can you collect?

"With these kinds of controversies, video tombstones could also create some fascinating free speech cases that could go all the way to the Supreme Court," says Barrows.

PLUS, VIDEO TOMBSTONES WILL ALSO HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON MANY ASPECTS OF SOCIETY:

1) Video tombstones will change the way we look at life and death.

2) Video tombstones will change the way that history is told.

3) The advent of the video tombstone will also create some changes in estate law and your digital afterlife.

4) Video tombstones will also create a whole new genre of storytelling...with all kinds of stories that may be told through video tombstones.

5) Video tombstones will also create two new industries:

A) Manufacturing video tombstones

B) Producing content for use in video tombstones

6) Video tombstones will also make cemeteries fascinating (or horrifying) places to visit.

7) Video tombstones will also create some major new revenue opportunities for many sectors of the funerary industry including monument builders, funeral homes, perpetual care fund providers and cemeteries.
