In the interest of FULL TRANSPARENCY regarding the smoke-filled room deliberations of the itwaslost.org board, I will make public this correspondence about a possible MOVIE to be shot during our Blog Reunion in Bulgarious Bulgarity. Since the project will no doubt evolve even further from these earlier discussions, publishing our first ideas should give nothing away. The conversation composed many e-mails, so I will spread it over a few posts.

Dear sirs,
Considering the time that you will be spending here and considering activities. I am proposing that during the time in the Big Little we utilize our resources and make a film. I would like to make a film with the available child actors at our disposal. Do we have ideas for bi or tri - lingual films? I am going to work on recruiting the kids here, but wondering what we have the way of concepts. I figure some writing can be done before you get here, most of it on the fly, either way producing things is good. Perhaps something with music and film? There is much to be harnessed. Thoughts?

Also, Grace... could you be convinced to bring your camera? Shooting with mine would not be adequate. I don't think you need to worry too much about gypsies.

I think this is an excellent idea, and I was already planning on bringing my new HDflip with me...not a professional movie camera by any means, but it gets the job done, and the stuff I've been getting out of it is HD and actually looks really nice. the audio is better than i ever would have expected with such a small camera. I'm sure with your camera and mine we can set up some good 2 camera setups, too...make it more fun in post production, more to work with...haha
I actually just spent the weekend on a freelance gig where i was facilitating high-school film-making (about a racially motivated murder that happened in these kids town on long island) and discovered that I totally love working with kids to make movies. I'm sure it will be even better in bulgaria with a slightly younger crowd. between us brainstorming and providing direction towards non-conventional ideas, providing technical support, and kids improvising and just generally being absurd because of their age, we should come up with something good.
i also think incorporation of music is a great idea- maybe some of it could be music-video kinda things?- esp. since we will have mary and sandrigon and the instruments they bring....

"Let no-one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills- against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence...few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

Do they like superheros? I have an idea, (not at all inspired by the fact I'm re-reading the essential x-men.)
Big Little: a strange monster starts attacking it from the watermelon patches.
AMERICAN SUPERHEROS come to help.
Kids end up saving the superheros trying to save the day.
We'll keep the CGI down to a minimum.
Adios, AMIGOS.
Continue reading for the exciting continuation...
And PART THREE also.
