Yes, I'm still working on the film. I've spent the last forever assembling the footage, getting translations done, and wading through the mountain.
Yesterday, I put together my first rough cut of the film. It was 3 hours and 47 minutes. The final will be in the 100 minute range. Rough Cut 1 is just all the interesting bits of the interviews and some old Charlie Selberg footage put together with some narrative structure. There aren't any pictures. There isn't any old film footage. Just hours of sound bites.. It takes a long time to view. As a matter of fact. It took me most of a day to see the whole thing. Curse you boredom and Facebook proximity. The file I uploaded to youtube for HK's perusal was 22gbs. It was also the 22nd video for this project I have done. The others are just assemblages grouped around a similar theme like Hungary in 1956 or Piller as a fencer.
Today I start killing my darlings. So far, I've chopped two minutes off the total length. I hope to have it more movie like by the time I come up to Saratoga for Christmas. I'm pretty sure no one wants to see how the sausage is made this early in the endeavor, so I will keep the behemoth to myself.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
