Praying to the movie gods.

We have an idea where we want to take this film. From what our previous interviews tell us, most people seem to be jaded toward the idea of beauty, and feel that the only reason that they do it is because they feel that they have to conform to society's collective ideas of beauty. But, there is another side. Those who actually enjoy it, feel better doing it, and appreciate it's ability to make one feel better. This is the angle we hope to get from the LGFB program. We think showing the contrast of the two and how it seems ok to regain what you lost, be it by surgery or makeup, but not ok to add to what you've already got. But really, is there a difference if it makes you feel better?

But, there is a rub. Tin is in full production mode for his UCLA film until next tuesday. This leaves nothing to do but capture footage for the next week, but my free time doesn't coincide with the lab times. So, we're not really sure how this is all going to work out. We have three interviews ready to go when we can get to them, and a Look Good, Feel Better event at UCLA next Thursday. This event (if we get full access that is) combined with the new interviews, will give us probably five more tapes to log, capture, and edit. How we're going to shoot, capture, log, and edit it all in seven days is a mystery to me. Perhaps we should hold a ritual sacrifice to the movie gods.
