Last night I gave my first interview to promote the documentary to a news writer named Mark Storer of the Ventura County Star, our largest newspaper in Ventura County. We talked for about 1/2 an hour. He is writing a preview story on the upcoming screenings for "Voices of the Homeless."
It still amazes me how lucky I am to have this kind of publicity for this project. Again, I am not a filmmaker. I am a jazz singer with a day job who took classes at the local public access station and figured out how to use a video camera and video editing systems. Then thanks to some very patient mentors at the station, eventually, it all came together.
And whether or not this project had a huge budget (it didn't even have A budget), and whether or not it took me two years to make it, it's done! And I believe it is good.
Now I will see how audiences respond to it.
So as long as I'm promoting, let me say:
"Voices of the Homeless," a documentary about a performance where Jazz improvisers helped the Homeless tell their stories in concert."
More to come . . .
