I haven’t had much time to write over the last two weeks as we finished shooting, editing, and screening our film. We had about 100 people come out to watch the debut at Clemson last Wednesday. I was humbled and thrilled.
I learned so much throughout this semester. I was essentially the leader of our group, and I had amazing partners to work with. I learned a lot about motivating people, keeping organized, and responsibility. I feel like I also learned a lot about the value of keeping the vision in front of you. When it came down to editing the final cut, we had so much we could have said. Making the decision to cut it down to the best clips that expressed the message we wanted to help the Upstate Homeless Coalition get out was tough–and incredibly valuable.
The people’s stories we heard were altering, and I wish we could have included them all. Then viewers would have better understood the way this project changed us. Below is the finished project; may it cause you to think, see, and listen.
