Seven Days in Haiti

On November 21, I along with a crew of 2 others will be traveling to Haiti for nearly two weeks to cover the Haitian elections and the immediate aftermath. Your donations to this effort will cover the production cost of this project. The Documentary that I will produce titled "Seven Days in Haiti" is about the final week of the historic Haitian elections the first test of democracy in a nation devastated by the January earthquake.

UPDATE 9-27-2010

Can Democracy and poverty coexist?

That is one of the questions that my film crew will be asking Haitian candidates for President. The purpose of this email is to make you aware of my film project Seven Days in Haiti. In November I will be taking a film crew to Haiti to cover the last week of the Haitian elections. My plan is to cover the election through the eyes of two Presidential candidates by following them and their events them for the last week of the elections. We will also interview Haitians from all walks of life, NGOs, Haitian Americans, and other interested parties. The finished product will include

* A full length documentary
* A video journal of the making of the film
* daily blogs while in Haiti
* A Photobook based on photos taken during that week

ONCE COMPLETED THIS FILM AND ITS ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE RAISING MONEY FOR HAITIAN RELIEF EFFORTS
