We are winding down the filming of the Shasta Documentary. And are waiting for a few more interviews including Zanger and Denis two remarkable characters. Zanger wrote the book on this place, literally and Denis is a good friend artist and war survivor whose wisdom has helped me continue a life of art.
The film process is arduous and rewarding. In the throws of the last bit of production, the post-production well on it's way. I have learned to let go and go with the river that is our film. This summer I had the chance to meet and talk to Khashyar Darvich who directed the "Dalai Lama Renaissance" narrated by Harrison Ford. He shot hundreds of hours in a two week and spent almost ten years making it. This is what I mean. It has taken me three years to shoot, juggling jobs and time and formats. And at first I imagined completing my film over the course of a summer.
I have adjusted my expectations and embraced the landscape that is now forged into my consciousness. The Pumalogy crew is winding down in this location with a grin ear to ear. There is some historic footage that I cannot wait to share with you!
In the next blog I will discuss the local music that has been and is been composed for us. Stay Tuned!
