The Poet & The Prisoner

A couple of months ago, my friend, a poet, suggested I take a class being given at the local art center that promised a finished video in 7 weeks......so I went. Ed, my friend and I teamed up, since the class was asked to pair off to work together on what would be an interview of some sort as the basis of their film. Joanna Catherine Scott is a remarkable novelist and poet who lives in Chapel Hill. Both Ed and I agreed she would be a wonderful interview, especially since her involvement with a prisoner on death row created a wonderful story. We struggled through the tech work involved with editing, and since finishing, I've pretty much forgotten what I might have learned, but think that the subject of this video is well worth the 7 minutes of time needed to watch it.
