Yesterday:
A few interesting things:

1) I watched most of Janie's Jane, a film about a woman who started a day car center from the bottom up, in the Brick City's Ironbound section.

2) The person who shot the film visited yesterday and did some interviews on tape of myself and two co-workers. He would like to make a new film, but needs to raise the capital.

3) He was able to shoot me in my element during a Tenant Association meeting at Aspen River Park. It was as crazy as usual, which made it fantastic for him to film.
