Hello All! As the first of many blogs, I'd like to take this opportunity to describe what it is you can expect to find in this section. Really, it's everything. This is going to be the information hub of the site. You can count on new entries at least every week but probably a whole lot more. I will be posting updates on where we're at in the project, what we're filming, what we need and anything else I can think of. I encourage all to comment and make this a forum also.
So, what have we been up to so far? The idea came to me last spring during my last quarter at UCD. I approached Richard and Steven because they have dreams of film making, and so we started. So far, we've interviewed a few of my friends and gone out 'on the street' a few times to talk to random people. We've had some great luck with interviews, we've talked to people who are homeless, people who are sober, people who sell drugs because they don't know what else to do. We are now at the point of editing a trailer and showcasing some of our footage. Why would we want to leak our ideas onto the internet? Money! Not just money, we have come to the stage in filming where some added equipment is necessary. We need a second video camera, an audio deck, lapel mics and such things. We also want to just get the idea out there. This is a truly independent film; no corporate sponsers, no commercial influence. The people who care about seeing the film are the ones who will help make it happen. We are open to donations of money, of course, but also donations of services, knowledge or equipment. All comments are welcome; personal anecdotes, musings and filming experiences to follow.
