The Afterparty & the end of guerilla video...

Well, the kick-off for the sports exhibit didn't go exactly as planned, but what does? Some last minute technical problems had me dubbing / burning DVDs even while the kick-off was first starting, but thank God all the pieces I had spent so much time and blood on editing eventually made it onto the floor. Over 200 people came to the opening last night, plus many of the people that I had the privilege to interview and film.

It was a very good feeling, seeing people enjoy the exhibit, learn, and most of all, be really touched by the personal stories of many people we interviewed. Even though I'm the crazy guerilla filmographer / editor, I'm always amazed how much people can be enthralled by video / TV. Yet, I feel the real impact was in the subject matter.

I don't think it's possible for a normal person to not be moved by some of the stories that are told in the exhibit - struggles against racism & prejudice and those little quests to find a place of identity between two cultures, Asian & American.

Anyways, I'm back at the museum today to put some finishing touches on all my work before I pass it off fully to the museum. Yeah, it is a bit sad... no more working in Chinatown. =(

It's also Good Friday today... somber day all around. The choir is singing tonight, so I gotta get to church early to warm-up and rehearse with everybody.
