Mike Behrends and Jon Klocek working on a few songs for our film.
I may be smiling but I was crapping my pants during this photo from the downtown water tower in Albert Lea.
I didn't make this climb, but Ryan Heath did. That vertical latter is what you had to climb to get to the very top of the water tower. Note that you are already ten stories up and their is no railing. As you can imagine I stayed away from that climb.
It's a different and difficult task that you have to go through when you are not being paid to produce a project that is trying to serve the community purpose and in turn trying to market it within the community. With that being said we have also had to coordinate this project around two full time jobs that have no connection to this project. With that being said progress has been made, and it continues to move forward. This week seems to be the most fulfilling as of yet. We have musicians that are helping with putting down some great tracks, great shots of downtown and more interviews with thankfully kind and informative locals that are willing to take the time to sit down with us. The most exciting portions of this week will entail a Albert Lea Tribune tag along interview, a trip up the downtown water tower to shoot some footage, and inside look at one of the second floors of a building downtown. My personal favorite portion of this project will be working with the musicians this week and the music that they will be working with it. This project keeps moving forward and the slated holiday release time will be made with a little luck and a ton of work.
