Notes from January 2010

Scheduling next shoot for Empty Quarter

We're looking ahead to April-May to resume production on Empty Quarter. We are planning to spend 10-14 days in Malheur county, primarily Vale, Nyssa, and Ontario. The focus will be on people working in various agricultural, warehouse, and domestic environments. We'll likely be in touch with Doug Maag who we had worked with previously, as well as other folks new to us (and our production) in Ontario. There was a bit of a struggle in the past to gain access to certain food processing and mineral operations, however we hope to overcome the suspicion and general concerns of these business entities. Looking forward to the final shoot of what has been a very long-term project. Also looking forward to a break from our routine here in Portland. Despite the sometimes difficult work of the production, we always seem to have a good time in SE Oregon.
