Production Update 10/16/17
Right now with Dead in the Water, we're in a bit of a holding pattern. We are all working on separate tasks so that we can get more interviews and b-roll shoots on the schedule by the end of the week.
Currently, we haven't been able to get in touch with two of the primary Duplin County residents we'd like to interview. We've reached out to them via Facebook message and we've asked around to see if anyone in the Cape Fear River Watch community has any other methods of contact for them. No luck so far. However, there is a panel event in Durham on Thursday (10/19) where one of the residents we'd like to interview will be on the panel. Paige and I are working out the travel details so that we can make it to the event and network, film, and hopefully schedule an interview with Elsie Herring.
We also contacted NC Farm Families this weekend to inquire about an interview. Fingers crossed they don't turn us down.
Along with that, Jocabed and Hannah are helping research additional avenues for contacts with Duplin residents. Our classmate, Gabby, gave us some great launching points to go off of.
As such, right now we're primarily reaching out to the people we'd like to interview next. I'll admit, things aren't moving as fast as I would like seeing as how we're in the middle of October. But I'm trying to remind myself that we had extremely great luck during the first half of the semester and all we can do is maintain momentum as best we can.
Additionally, over this weekend my childhood dog died and I came down with a cold. So I had to tell the team that I needed the weekend off, which was not the original plan. It's hard for me to deviate from plans/schedules, but every time I tried to get it together this weekend, I couldn't make it out of bed. This is where my team really stepped up and saved me and the film. Paige took over some editing and Jocabed made sure we didn't lose ground with our research and contacting.
This coming week will be busy, but I think with how strong this team is, we can make some progress, especially with the Durham event.
