If you need any help, let me know. 10+ years of hardcore video experience here, even 4 years of a college degree, now I just do it for fun, lol. |
I really appreciate that JEDI. I have been writing for quite some time and consider myself a Pro in that arena. I do have some friends that have been giving me some support on the actual filmmaking process. I will definetely take you up on your help if you are interested and I could send you ideas and shot footage via email or other means for your input.
I have already thought of going to a lawyer to get releases for individuals. I will also make sure that everyone featured will be diabetic. I live in a capital city so I have alot of different branches here at my disposal. The state school for the blind is right down the street and I am pretty sure I will find a diabetic that lives in Austin that is blind and willing to be a part of the film (Everyone that becomes blind comes to this school for training in real life situations and to learn how to read braille). I also know a homeless man who has lost a leg due to a Complication - He will definetely be a part of this for me. As for the Dialysis - My grandfather was on Dialysis for 4 years due to a non-diabetic complication. Needless to say I know all of the doctors and nurses at one facility. I will see if I can get permission to shoot and see if anybody there has Diabetes and would like to be a part of the film to talk about their complication.
