BUFFETT 06 · Post by **BUFFETT 06** » Wed May 07, 2008 5:29 am

i have debated for a long time over this, but because I am a daily visitor to this board and I have come to appreciate many of the post that you all make, I wanted to share something with you. Last September I went down to PV for something other than a vacation. I went to shoot a video piece for my final project before I graduated Film School. I have a background in Journalism and I wanted to learn Film and do Documentary work. I decided that my final project would be a piece on the families that live in the dump. I spent that whole week at the dump , on the hill with the workers picking through the trash, I was able to go inside the homes of the people at the base and talk with many of them. I thought that after I left and came back to the states that I would be done. Fast forward....I am returning back to PV later this month and several more times throughout the year to shoot a Feature length Documentary that is going to be shown in several festivals and if all goes well, the theater. I have posted the video that I did for my graduation on my page at MYSPACE. If you are at all interested you can view it at...myspace.com/tokuhara_films. Many of you have been to the dump to see and help these people and it is your feedback that I am looking for.

I have had the word EXPLOITATION thrown in my face several times, I would like to mention that not one dollar will see my bank account from this project. My resources and ability to make this film is what I have to offer these people and I intend to get this story to enter the ears of as many people as I can.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, have a wonderful day.

I should mention that the video is on the bottom right side of the page...las familias en el basurero. This was shot on a cheap handheld camera. The feature length will be transfered to 35mm film.

Or the english version....

Wes your profile is marked "Private"...no one can see the film unless you add them as friends....

Maybe you can make it public instead?
