Veterans’ Affairs

I took a week break from everything and visited my brother who lives in Oregon. I would normally keep my personal trips off the documentary site but I felt it necessary to raise a point. We passed through a town named Pineville. Its population is about 7600. We passed it twice in our travels and I noticed both times a homeless man. It was very clear and evident that he was homeless and it alarmed me to think that even in the smallest communities the same problems exist. I am so much more aware now then I’ve ever been with realizing the issue with homelessness. Now mind you that the documentary is focusing on Veterans not homelessness in general but it makes you wonder just how deep certain subjects can go when you just generalize them.

Since I’ve been gone for a week I felt it would be necessary to post an update about the current status of the film. Before I left on my vacation I was busy editing a section of the film that will be used as a short for the documentary. This piece will be about 20 minutes in length. I hope to have it completed this week. I am really excited about this phase of the project. The short will give others a chance to see what is happening and what direction the documentary is going.

In other news, the documentary may have a distribution agreement. This is very early in the overall scheme of it but the direction is positive.
