It’s been a bit of a frustrating time getting this thing out the door. Just when you think it’s all finished, you spot a detail that takes you back a number of steps in order to correct. Was it Lucas or was it Speilberg that said “Movies are never finsied; they are abandoned”?¹ Well, this is only a teaser—a minute and a halfpseudo trailer, if you will—to give you a little taste of what’s going on with this thing. I’m very happy with it and am excited to share it with you.

The teaser is available in four sizes: HD (50 MB), Large (19 MB), Medium (9 MB) and Small (5 MB). QuickTime Player or something else that supports playback of H.264 mp4 files is required.

Download, enjoy and pass it along to your friends. Please spread this video around and help get the word out. In this economy, independent productions—documentaries especially—need all the support they can get!

¹Whoever it was, they were actually riffing off Leonardo da Vinci who originally said “Art is never finished, only abandoned.”

Making movies is fun.

So far I have been blogging more on news items regarding racism than I have about the actual film. Filmmaking is a slow and painstaking process (but we love it regardless), so it can be expected that there is more to blog about that is happening in the day-to-day, real-life-o-sphere than about the progress of a currently self-funded, independent documentary.

That said, I’m looking forward to getting a little teaser (not to be confused with a trailer) out in the next week or so. I’m also working on lining up some interviews down in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. are for mid November. I’m not going to let anything out of the bag as to who these people would be or on what they would be discussing on camera. I will say that even if I manage to only get one of the three on camera (during this trip) I will be a very happy man.

Stay tuned.
