It occurred to me this morning that my previous post left out a few pieces of information. I wrote that I have not been doing much that is worth mentioning. This is not entirely true. Two things have happened since I started this blog that I think deserve a little attention.
The first is I met and briefly (oh so very briefly) assisted a local filmmaker with a documentary project he is working on. When we met he had already been working on the project for some time and had completed the majority of the shooting. I tagged along for two events that he shot and was given a glimpse of the project. To the best of my knowledge he is now locked away editing the footage he has been shooting. The subject of the film is immigration, in particular focusing on the immigration experiences of Ethopians to the DC area. Rather than try and sum up all that this ambitious project has set out to do I will paste two links below that should better explain the details.
The film is called Migration of Beauty and the official web site address is www.migrationofbeauty.com
Below is a sample of some footage that is posted on Youtube.
The newsworthy note I would like to make involves another local project, this one completed (sadly I was not even slightly involved in it). I came into contact with one of the producers of this film and although I have yet to see it the subject matter and sample clip on Youtube make it look like a movie not to miss! It looks like the DVD will be available in June.
The film is titled Abduction and you can visit the site at www.abductionfilm.com
Below is the trailer for the film.
