One for the road

I've had a great time down in Redding. It's been very relaxing, fun, and rejuvenating to be away from the pressures of home and with great people like Lyn & Jesse. We've worked away at the documentary while I've been here, and here's where we're at:

• the structure of the documentary is finally coming together. We've been pushing clips around, debating various approaches, getting frustrated, finding hope, and getting lost again, only to find other solutions to the nagging content issues that come with having only two weeks to film in a location as complex as Rwanda. We think we've got a plan that will work well, though perhaps not as 'sellable' as we once hoped for.


• the teaser/trailer for the documentary is complete. You can access the low-res version here and the hi-res version here. (Quicktime 7 required.)

• we've recorded some original music for the soundtrack. You can hear a small portion in the trailer.


• the promo piece we're putting together with all our extra footage to help out Wellspring is essentially complete. There's a few nips and tucks to be done yet and a final look-through by Richard & Jeff. I'll post it here when it's complete (if there's room on my server...)

I head home Saturday morning. With both Jesse and I going back to work (have to pay rent somehow!), we're not sure when we'll be able to have the final edit of the full documentary completed, but we'll post when we know more. Thanks again for all of your support.
