Our day of 13 Interviews

Yesterday Chris and I woke up at like 5:45 drove to Chapel Hill met Emilie there she got snacks, set up at 9 and shot from 10 am till 10 at night and got I think 13 interviews, then Chris and I went out to dinner with some of our interviewees till 11:30 and got home at 2 am! What a day! It was amazing. My brain is a little mushy after all of it I am exhausted and still have a massive amount of other work to do, oy. There were only 2 things that were less than ideal with our shoot 1.) The house was right in back of a noisy rode and 2.) The room was SO HOT we all felt like passing out. But this was nothing compared to how touching, insightful, and wonderful our interviewees were. It is so great to hear so many stories from so many voices. So far we have 15 interviews with transgendered people so far and they each have such unique experiances. I can't wait to show our footage but I don't know how we will make like 15 hrs into 15 min.
