A Gift for the Village

In June of 2007, 7 friends left the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia on a trip to Nepal. Our mission was to deliver a painting of an amazing man in a remote village which sits at 12,000 feet in the Himalayas. The film that documents this cultural exchange is now finished, and in the summer of 2010, it was carried back to Nepal and shown there. The film premiered in the US on September 16 at the Taubman Museum in Roanoke before beginning a new journey around the country.

Making Progress

Tom here: Our 5 days on the Chesapeake Bay are almost over and Jenna Jane and I are feeling pretty fine about our progress on the documentary. We're tackling segments of the video and gathering our best footage so that we'll all know what kind of images we have as we go forward with scripting and additional interviews. As I write this we've done a rough cut that is almost 19 minutes long and focuses on festival preparation and the day of the festival. It feels GREAT to be making some headway on this huge undertaking.
