Update on the Documentary

People keep asking me when my film will be done. The schedule is hinging on my orthodontist. I have braces now and we need to film final clips of narration where I talk into the camera in hindsight. And, I refuse to do it with my mouth full of metal.
Up until now, Nicola has been editing video that I shot over the years we lived at ranch. I wasn't in the footage - always behind the camera. Last week, the she asked me, "Do you have any footage of you and your family doing normal ranch things? I want to break up this insanity occasionally and remind people that you are a regular person raising a family."
I look at these old video clips and it brings back good memories. It was an adventure. Its very important to me that the movie show all the beautiful sides of South Texas. People live here because it is a nice place to live. Yea, we've got some crime and contamination. Who doesn't? The bad thing that sets us apart - the extreme poverty. We are one of poorest areas in the USA.
Now we live in town and the kids are teenagers. They just want to be like everyone else. So, I haven't bothered them with the news that they are to be featured in a movie showcasing their screwy childhood.
