Week 5 Update

This past week, I have been in contact with both Lake Shore Commons and Carolina Bay at Autumn Hall in order to set up possible interviews. Lake Shore is interested in being part of the project, but because they are owned by a corporation, they need to wait on approval for filming from the higher up people. The Life Enrichment Director at Carolina Bay has been proactive in discussing the film interest with Joseph L. Soto, the Executive Director, and the marketing team. The man who is in charge of all video and press for Carolina Bay was working in Charlotte this past week, so there is a slight delay on permission to film interviews and what not. Our group is planning a trip to Wallace, NC this Friday to visit Emma's aunt, Kathy Lord, who is a widower currently living in River Landing. River Landing is a community of many retired personnel but also families as well. It is a relaxing place without the amenities of a true retirement community or a home. We hope to knock out her interview and get a lot of b-roll of the area in and around where she resides. I contacted Cathy Hobson, the retiree living with her husband in Carolina Beach and she is willing to help in any way she can, so hopefully either this week or next, we can get the couple's interviews in. Aside from upcoming filming, Anthony, James, and I went to Carolina Bay this past weekend and gathered some initial exterior b-roll and edited the footage along with footage that Anthony shot on his Sony HDR-FX1 of Doug Zieschang, a retired musician, who currently runs a bed & breakfast.
