What is PrepWire

What the hell is PrepWire? Good question. It's the sports page in the back of the local paper, except it's all video. No inky fingers. It's a video magazine, a vlog, dedicated to local High School sports. Is that Derrick Rose!? Yes, yes it is. While they were still in High School we filmed Derrick Rose, Dwayne Wade, and Lebron James, just to name a few!

We started PrepWire when reCurve Media was still in Chicago, and was one of the first video publications we created from the ground up. We had a deal with NBC5 of Chicago to share our Prep stories! Then the economy went into the toilet, NBC was bought by a Cable provider, and reCurve Media moved to the West Coast to escape Chicago's deplorable winters.

Unfortunately, PrepWire didn't take off the way we had hoped in the 2nd city. On the West Coast however, here in Sonoma County, there is growing excitement around the concept. Perhaps it is because we are so near Silicon Valley. Maybe those on the West Coast are just more hip, but the interest in PrepWire, and well-crafted, local video content is on the rise once again. In this blog post, we've put up only a few PrepWire stories, from the original hundreds filmed and edited, to give you a better idea of what we're on about. If you are interested in the concept of PrepWire, please let us know. The stories are just too good to ignore.
