I am extremely pleased to report that the entire amount of $70,000 which was needed to install the water filtration system for San Antonio de Los Cobres is here. Through the valiant effort of many different people the money has finally been provided. Right now Jim Hill is in Argentina on a preliminary visit arranging people and things in order to lay the groundwork for the installation of the filtration system.
Thank you, thank you, thank you; thank all of you who have given and helped out in any way towards this extremely important goal. Now that the money for the filter system has been raised that also means that the documentary is going into it's final hectic schedule of production and right now we have an urgent need for funds in order to travel and film everything that is happening right now. I was actually supposed to go on a trip to Argentina right now, with Jim Hill, but due to the lack of funds I was unable to go. We probably have two more trips to make and the two trips we will make are probably going to be the most important for the documentary. I hate asking for support but if you can help out in anyway it would be greatly appreciated; any amount or any task it would help. Just contact me via email and I will give you a ring.
I also want to announce some exciting news with this post. Over the last several months I have been communicating with a very talented Argentine editor about the documentary and as of two week ago he has agreed to be involved with Troubled Waters. Juan Manuel Leguizamon has won many awards and worked on films featured at the NY Film Festival, IDA awards, 34th ALCINE, Montreal Wold Film Festival, Docuweek and many others. We are extremely excited to have him on board as the lead editor and we hope to bring more good news concerning the final stages of the documentary in weeks to come.
Finally, I know I have promised it for way too long but we will have a new website soon, it is in the works, so be looking for it. Thanks for reading and please if you feel compelled to help tell this story contact me.
