Working on the documentary

I have been working on the tape a wonderful friend Cecilia sent me. She shot a whoel bunch of video while she visited Hetauda, Nepal in her fact-finding mission about the NEST educational efforts. I am waiting for the rest of the material she shot when she visited Hetuada in 2004. Initially it started out as something I could use for my practice in digital editing. Then it became a quest for 20-minute video for fundraising. Now I am taking it to the next step--enter into documentary festivals. We had a studio shoot today for the community show, which turned out to be a total fiasco (but we are not going to talk about it...ssssh). Interesting thing during the shoot, however, was that this documentary could get an airtime in the Angelo State Ram TV. Now, that is one positive development. Other positive things associated with it: I have been offered help by Bruno, Paul and Ms Turner from the Communication, Drama and Jouralism Department. Marie from Canada has volunteered to help me find some documentary festivals to show it. The message: Doing something good is good for our soul. Getting the soul aligned with our true purpose in life will open all the doors in the world. It leads to happiness and living of a purposeful life, as it was meant to be lived.
