Yesterday was our last night in Santo Domingo, and the last night of our film trip. We had dinner together in the restaurant and figured out some of our next steps. When Bruce and I get back next week, we're going to arrange a screening of some of the footage--we'll fast forward through most of it, as we've got over 18 hours of footage! Avis Richards, who has funded this movie, will hopefully be there, and we'll reduce the footage to get a reasonable amount transcribed.
Bruce and I are really, really satisfied with how this trip turned out. Aside from one small hotel mix-up, we avoided big snafus and had a largely smooth trip. We visited plenty of schools and have a large portfolio of projects that we can present to potential donors and foundations. We also have enough first-rate footage to make about a dozen short films. I can't wait until we have the first finished product, and can then move on to creating DVDs for specific projects, putting school tours and interviews on our website, and so on. Those 18 hours of footage will be an incredible tool for our work as we move forward.
