First Interviews.

Well the first interviews are done (CRIA, Cineplex Odeon). I needed to do the CRIA first since its standpoint really defined what topics would be touched when interviewing the rest of the folks on this documentary.

The CRIA’s president is a Graham Henderson, a former lawyer for music artists. He was a very charismatic and well-informed bloke. You could mention any issue pertaining to music these days, and he was right on top of it.

It was quite refreshing to see someone that genuinely cared so much about the topic at hand.

Cineplex Odeon’s VP of Communications was also an interesting character. That interview went quite well, despite the fact that one of the microphones failed to work correctly when I was testing it during set up. I switched mics, and all went well.

This trip to Toronto all told cost me about $240. I have to buy another lapelle mic, which is another $60. Financially, this documentary will be the end of me. I can’t approach external funding because of the lack of a solid schedule. That said, I’ll see what I can do afterwards.

The movie should be released early-mid-April. I have another interview today (Ottawa Anime), one on Thursday (CHUO Radio), one on Friday (CMPDA in Montreal). I have more next week. Good Times.
