This is the first Sunday in a very long time that I haven’t had an extreme amount of things to do. It is absolutely crazy. I have watched 3 movies today, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Okay so I have a new found appreciation for documentaries. Before I would just simply blow them off as something some miniscule filmmaker did just to pass his or her time; but now after having filmed my own documentary and started on the editing process, I have a new found love for this genre of film.

I love that people can connect with other people in the world in such a way as to tell a story about every day human life in a much more interesting way. It is so wonderful to see how everything comes together for the beauty of a story.

I can’t wait to see how my documentary turns out. You all will be the first to see it. No worries.

Doc premise: My documentary is about finding hope in otherwise pretty hopeless situations. Finding joy and peace and contentment in the middle of an impoverished environment.

It is going to take probably about 30 hours of editing to get my documentary completed, so it is going to be a long and lonely road for a while, but I know that it will be worth it. Super excited. Get ready people!

In His Love,
Buffy
