Project Update

Just want to give a brief update, so everyone will have an idea of where we are on the project. We are really excited about how the documentary is coming along. Some serious post-production work is taking place right now. A lot of hard work is going into putting together the first cut. At this point, it looks like the first cut will be a 3 hour long mini-series. A good deal of thought will take place as we trim it down to the roughly 90 minutes we are looking for. Tough editorial decisions to be made. Unfortunately, some good stuff will most likely end up on the editing room floor. We are aiming for a March premier and early April distribution release. More updates to follow.
