I’ve been working with a Haitian documentary filmmaker for about 6 months. It is a historical film and we’ve been compiling archival photos and content. One of the photo I have in my Final Cut system is behind the presidential Palace in Port-au-Prince. We were talking about how he would like to film reenactments there.
We were sitting looking at the material when he got the call about the earthquake in Haiti. He lost both his parents!
Needless to stay, the project has been on hold since.
My heart goes out to the people of Haiti. A beautiful country that I visited twice in 2006 as an election observer.
Haitians are resilient people and will rise up from the ashes to create a better country.
