Update on proposed recruiter video

Some radical changes since last posting. I am not going to be teaching at all this summer in Korea. I am going to make a film. I realized that a. wouldn't have time for filmmaking if I was working 8-9 hour days, 6 days a week (typical camp schedule) and b. wouldn't be back home in time to be ready to teach fall semester.

The recruiter has changed hands, and they underwent a re-org. There is another person in charge of the video project, and we are now in negotiations for that promo video. My goal is to make their promo video, so they would cover the cost of my airfare plus a small stipend and necessary production expenses (all at a tremendous discount).

I am very excited at this point; I feel like things are finally coming together. I am planning to arrive in Korea July 15 and begin shooting on July 16 - July 22 with Chang's equipment for the promo and my film. I will also be shooting again beginning August for my film with Chang's equipment, plus I'll be traveling in between and using my own camera at will.

I have submitted a proposal to the recruiter, so hopefully (by Monday) I should hear something from them. Fingers and toes crossed, everyone!

I am also raising money here at home to help fund my film. So far I have a graphics and titles package in-kind and a donation of $100. It's a great start! Will be calling on more folks soon for additional funds. If you're reading this and you'd like to support my documentary, please contact me.

Thanks!
