I have a six minute "sneak preview" of my documentary online

[Ava]

This is a rough edit of the first six minutes of what will be a 50min+ documentary. I'm currently working on finishing up and hope to put it online next month. I have a rough edit complete and am currently in the process of doing some sound editing and smoothing out some transitions. It's a work in progress!

A little bit of information about this documentary and its progress:
I finished interviewing the veterans about a year ago, but a majority of the funding came from my savings, and my pocket emptied from filming expenses. As a result I didn't have money to pay for HQ b-roll footage from Iraq. After sitting on the footage for awhile I decided to take what I had filmed and work with it and footage from Iraq that I was able to find online. As a result most of the b-roll footage isn't high quality which is disappointing, but considering the obstacles thrown my way I'm happy with how the documentary is progressing. It is my first attempt at "full-length", and I've learned a lot from the experience that will help avoid the same mistakes in the future.

3. Wow

This looks like it will be a great documentary. Your preview alone brought back some of the anger and sadness I have suppressed in the last few months. I have to say that it has been very cool watching how you have grown and developed as an activist in the last few years since you've been here Ava. Keep fighting the good fight.

I also want to say that it sucks seeing georgie again. :)

5. Du is lucky to have you Ava.

I wish I could help you financially. My daughters just went to state finals for their DVD documentary on the Dalai Lama. Alas, they didn't win (it would have meant a trip to DC for the nationals) but they made a great effort.

I've been looking forward to seeing this since you posted a clip in the Political Videos forum a couple of months ago. You really are very talented and hope your excellent work reaches a wide audience.
