I am happy to say that I have started editing the Hall Show Documentary.  I know that I have just scratched the surface with uncovering the story behind the 1980s Flint Punk Rock scene, but I also know that I need to start cutting the story together so I can better get a sense for what I have, and what I would like to have to tell this story.  I am making new contacts on a regular basis of folks who were part of the scene and have artifacts that will be great pieces within the documentary, photos, stories, flyers, interviews, video.

So that brings me to the editing.  Why start now, when everything isn't necessarily in place?  Well, I have been kind of keeping this part quiet, but I want to start generating some buzz to help the progress of the whole project along.  I am cutting a short teaser doc out of what I currently have - kind of an extended trailer if you will.  The plan is to premier the trailer at the 2010 Earp Fest in December.  This will be a worldwide premier, and where better to do it than at a reunion of the Hall Show crowd, in honor of Doug Earp! (and others we have lost along the way, of course).

This film is really my gift to the scene, and it isn't possible without the help and support of people who were, and still are, part of the Flint scene.  I am always looking for people to interview, and for artifacts to layer into the film.  So any support that you, the readers of this site, can offer is totally appreciated.  hall.show.documentary (at) gmail (dot com) is a good place to touch base with me.
