Editing Away (GAD? May Update)

Editing is in full swing! I'm editing away on our 150 hours of footage creating the first assembly. I'm currently editing our footage from Canterbury, England where we interviewed Dr. Dirk Voss, then will work my way across the Europe footage and then onto Africa! Hoping to have something in time for this coming up Sundance, but as we all know, nothing in this project has happened as planned. Never hurts to have goals though!

I attached a picture of my set-up for editing. I was donated an office by my friend Jeffrey Smith, author and one of the founders of Generation BIG (http://bit.ly/aiKN3C). 

Also, we are super pumped that Invisible Children's bill was passed by Congress & put on the President's desk. Incredible example of young people changing the world! Watch this video; it tells the whole story!(http://bit.ly/cJDcT7) You have a voice that can make a difference, expect sweat & tears but also tons of miracles!

Last of all, Tony Mungai (http://www.giveadamndoc.com/crew.html) was our guide around Nairobi and played a significant role in helping us get adjusted to Africa. I met him about 5 years ago on my first trip to Africa. Ever since we met, I knew he wanted to start his own community health and HIV/AIDS testing center. Well, I'm excited to see that his dream has come through. Please check out the Mtaani Centre at their blog: http://bit.ly/bpqME1.
