Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
stumbling blocks
So I have been a bit quiet about my filmmaking progress since my big proclamation a couple of months ago. I have been reading a lot on my topic, taking notes, and reading some more. I am to a point now where I have hit a bit of a wall. I’ve done my research and now I need to start actually planning a production schedule which will begin with finding interview subjects. I have a few in mind, but I still feel myself getting really nervous when I am about to compose an email to any of them. Something I will have to overcome soon if I actually want this film to become anything more than a notebook full of scribbles.
Another stumbling block that I have encountered recently is finding a school willing to let me visit their playground and interview their students. I have never had to deal with obtaining school and parent permissions for including children in a film. Has anyone had experience with this? If so, I would greatly appreciate any advice.
P.S. Kino-eye.com is a great resource for documentary film students. I know I will be referring to it a lot in the coming months.
