Civil Rights Movement Reenactment Shoot

Last Friday we began shooting the last phase of our documentary, Before the Memories Fade: Voices from the Civil Rights Movement. Over 25 University of Georgia students participated in various reenactment scenes from the 1960's.

Friday marked the next to the last production day in this 2.5 year filming process. The students were great even when the temperature dropped a little. It was cold for Georgia that night.

We shot chase scenes, jail scenes, confrontations and more. I also took the shoot as a teaching moment for some actors who only knew a little about the movement. In between scene changes I talked about various people, topics and situations they should learn more about. After all it was college students their age who travelled south and made the difference.

My Athens crew was great and my two Key PA's, Dali and Fabrice, have been working closely with me over the last month helping to put various shoots together. They are fantastic and real go getters!

This Saturday the 21st, we will be shooting a mass march in downtown Athens. We have over 150 people coming which should make a very exciting and realistic reenactment. Let's hope the weather holds out. If it doesn't we are shooting anyway because they marched in the rain also!
