time has been flying and i can’t believe turkeys and christmas shopping are here already.

post production has been going well, but it’s an entirely different pace from everything that came before. distilling over twenty hours of footage into a 90 minute film is a delicate and time-consuming process, on both the technical and artistic ends of the spectrum.

our goal is to take the necessary time to produce the best film possible. once miky (our fearless editor!) and i have a cut we’re happy with, we’ll begin the process of screening the film for friends & colleagues to get feedback and make the film even better. when we arrive at the final cut i’ll hand it over to paul (our amazing composer!) so he can work on the score. after that we’ll send it through sound mix and color correction… so, as you can see, we have months and months of collaborative work ahead of us.

i really appreciate everyone who has expressed interest in updates and, if you’re reading this, thanks for checking in! please continue to do so. over the next couple of months i’ll be working with jeff (the rockstar web designer!) to update the site and add new content.

as always, big thanks to those who have continued to donate:

super “repeat offender” taberah joy holloway, the walker county historical society, marty & rick summerour, peter o’connor, and loretta lackey!

best,
john

these people ROCK!
