Finally in Post-Production, I can see an end to five years of making my first feature documentary, MY LOUISIANA LOVE. Now… how will the film help bring forth change for my best friend, co-producer, and main subject, Monique Verdin and her Houma Indian family of southeast Louisiana? With this question hanging over me, I gratefully accepted NAPT’s invitation to a Media for Change workshop in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I brought Monique along with me so she would also get a better understanding of what carrying our documentary into the world may be like. The workshop made our abstract idea of audience engagement and outreach become a more tangible plan.
