Saving the Monkeywhale

5 Comments 01 Apr, 2009

So, we took part in something called the International Documentary Challenge which is another one of those, “here’s a ridiculously small amount of time to make something” contests.  We drew 2 genres … art and first person with the themes of hope and fear.

Since we’d never made a documentary on any scale we decided to document the journey of the monkeywhale so far.

For those of you who might have been somewhat confused by our about page.

    What a great story. I would hire you and your crew if and when I have that power.

    Has anyone recently linked to the State of Things website? http://www.wunc.org/programs/tsot/ Check out the current picture of the week to see a familiar face / boom operator. The pic is credited to some local folk, too. How about that?
