“Mister Rogers & Me” In 25 Words Or Less?

I’ve been drafting our Independent Film Week application as Chris fine tunes our submission.

We’ve made some elegant revisions tonight, including the addition of a cute piece of footage of Ethan and me, some evocative driving b-roll, and a song by Davy Rothbart’s brother’s band, The Poem Adept, “Bear & Raccoon” (though we haven’t officially asked Peter’s permission yet).

Thing about non-linear editing is that there’s no track record of what was, only what is. The project evolves before our eyes. That is, when my eyes aren’t on this blog.
