I´ve been suffering from a bit of burn-out with these blogs, but follow this LINK and it will take you to some photos of a new project we´re starting. Called Flamenco: the Land is Still Fertile (Flamenco: la tierra está viva), we´ve gotten some RandD money from Media Art Works (MAW) to write the script, make a trailer and put up a simple web site.
The project, undertaken by Palomino Productions, will be jointly run by Antonio de la Malena and yours truly (Eve A. Ma). Specifically, we are co-authors of the script. I will be the producer and co-director, and Antonio de la Malena will be the director and co-producer. Plus he will be the documentary´s narrator, and will sing in it some. (So will Agujetas, Luis Moneo, etc., etc.--and we´ll have guitarists, dancers, children, old people...this is going to be very good. But we must obtain money to pay for the production.
In the meantime, we´ve shot a little, but will shoot more when I return to Jerez...just enough to do the trailer. After that, well, we don´t have the financing at this point to do any more. But we do have the agreement of some flamenco heavy hitters to be in the documentary, and we´ve got a great script!
OUR NEXT POST will be about finished the educational version of A Zest for Life: Afro-Peruvian Rhythms, a Source of Latin Jazz.
