Hot time; summer in the city.

Crazy busy times. Friends visiting, house buying, planning a trip to China this fall and working on documentaries any chance I get. Next weekend I'm going to visit my family in Port Dover. I missed Friday the 13th AGAIN. 100,000 bikers in a small lake side town. You gotta love it. No seriously - the bikers are everywhere so you really have no choice.

Anyway, on to actual news. Rentz documentary is currently being digitized on my computer. We will take a look in a few days to see what we have to add in terms of last interviews and voice over narration. All in all, things look good. I will talk more about this soon. Look for images to be added to the Rentz website.

The miniatures documentary (see front page for more info) is going well with three prominent Canadian artisans expressing interest in the film. I am sending out letters of agreement for them to sign post haste. In case you're wondering, a letter of agreement is a contract expressing permission to appear in a documentary should the documentary actually be made. It is not a release form for the actual footage (that comes later). It's part of a larger package including budget, resumes, crew lists, visual and audio treatments that a producer presents to investors. It's all designed to basically prove that you can make the film you say you will.

There's your "making your own documentary" glossary term for today. Isn't this fun kids?!... um, kids?.... hello?
