Documentary update

After posting numerous news articles about Prop 8 and the LGBT equal rights movement, I figured it was time for a personal update on the status of my documentary. As I've said before, I am so grateful to all of those who have donated to my project. The funds I've raised thus far have made a huge dent in the costs of my film equipment. Seriously, I can't thank you all enough!

Right now, I am psyched to start talking to people about their views on the Prop 8, gay marriage, etc. I am in the process of honing the questions I plan to ask. I'm trying to get to the core of what I want to find out, and why. I think the "why" is what will drive the project.

Now that I have all of my equipment (SO EXCITING, though I nearly had a heart attack at B&H because of all the money I was spending...) I can finally begin my journey.

One of the greatest moments I've had in the past 2 months was talking to my dad about this project, which he wasn't so enthusiastic about at first. However, when he realized that people actually want to see me succeed in creating this documentary, he expressed his pride for having a daughter who stood up for what she believes is right. He encouraged me to never back down, no matter what. That meant a lot coming from him. Thanks, Harv!

I hope you will all continue to visit my blog and read up on the current events revolving around the equal rights movement as well as the progression of my documentary. Once I have some interviews under my belt, I plan to post them up here, so definitely stay tuned.
