Wow, what a week this has been... and it may be almost over, but it's not really close to over. We've been working most of the week--days and nights--one two feature-length documentaries, both with the same deadline, Friday, March 11.
The two projects really couldn't be much more different. We started last week working with the lovely and talented Scott Cervine on his latest, People v. The State of Illusion. This project is put together by, and features, some of the same people from What The #$*! Do We (K)now!? This one is a very provocative look at how emotions control how we perceive the world, and how our perceptions affect our state of mind. It's very inspirational and uplifting to work on, even when it's the middle of the night and our ears are starting to get weary from too much work.
The other project is called The Proving Grounds directed by Ld Dyksterhouse and it's about a Mixed Martial Arts training gym here in Albuquerque run by the inimitable Greg Jackson. We've actually had the distinct pleasure of recording Greg Jackson for an entirely different project, but that's another story. While on the surface, this is a very different kind of project, it is also very rewarding to work on, which is good because we've been putting a lot of hours into it, and it has some surprising similarities with People v. The State of Illusion. I'm not sure I've had enough sleep to articulate those similarities... perhaps you'll watch both of them and tell me what you thought.
