Our documentary has moved towards the post production phase. I am beginning to edit down the interviews and have been breaking them up into small segments. Starting this weekend I will begin to edit a full rough cut. I hope to have a rough cut edited by next Friday 3/23 to show my crew. We are still filming Broll. We plan to film Stray Local's band practice next Tuesday 3/24 and possibly Signal Fire and down with it later on this week or next week. After the first rough cut we plan to schedule any necessary followup interviews.
We are beginning to look at festivals to submit to within the next few weeks. I look forward to the opportunity and am excited to start funding. We are still working out the details of how we will do a fundraising page, but the majority of the money we raise will be dedicated towards festival submission fees.
I am also working on titles for the documentary. I have narrowed it down to my top three and hope to have one picked out soon so I can work on promotional pieces for the documentary. Things are going really well, and I look forward to the progress we will continue to make.

Week Seven Documentary Progress Update
This weekend my crew put in a lot of hours, but the reward was great! The production took about 9 hours and took place in three different locations. This weekend wrapped up the filming of our initial expert interviews.
The first interview was of Sean, the lead singer from Signal Fire. We interviewed Sean in his home in the room that Signal Fire has their band practices. We asked Sean a series of questions, and he gave us great input on what it is like to be the front man and primary songwriter for his band. The band focuses on trying to get their positive message across to listeners.
The second interview was of Joey, the lead guitarist from down with it. We filmed Joey in his bands new practice space. Joey was able to open up about the songwriting process from a guitarists perspective and offered a lot of interesting insight on the topic. Joey's band likes to write about heavy topics, and their songs have messages ranging from animal rights to speaking out against rape.
The final interview was of Hannah, one of the singers of Stray Local. We interviewed Hannah in the bands home, in a room that they hold their band practices in. Hannah talked about what it is like to collaborate with a band to write songs. She spoke highly of her band and the process that they undergo to write songs as a band.
We will be taking a break from production over the next two weeks to focus on post production. We will continue filming over the week of March 16th.
