Artist Statement?

here it is! ( i think )

The Trek Project is the culmination of a journey. For me this project has been an experiment, an investigation, an interrogation. Creating this project has sent me into some of the most uncomfortable places in my soul; time spent interrogating systems of oppression that I have both opposed but also supported. Examining all of this I repeatedly asked myself what is my stake in all of this? Who am I to create this story?
It is a question that this movie does not answer, rather it pushes it further, complicates the lines of borders, travel and story. I created this project to give back to an organization that has given me endless opportunity and perspective. What I give to you, the viewer, is a piece of this, a piece of the journey and a chance for perspective. What will you do with it?

DONE

ok, so, its about 2 months late, buuuuut, the editing of El Trompo is done!
the video will be ready to screen soon, all that has to happen is final sound editing and subtitles.

ALSO The Trek Project itself is also almost done!
one of the big barriers to completing the project is that I need to work on the timeline of US Latin American History and make it more graphically appealing, you can see the timeline in the previous post, if anyone has any ideas/drawings they think would work well with the timeline send them along!

Hopefully the next few weeks will go smoothly and the piece will be screening and released soon!

the password is the same as the last two times and if you don't know it just email me (hhconnects@gmail.com) or Facebook me and I will let you know.

Also as far as the rest of the project is concerned I am posting the rough version of the timeline below:





As you can probably guess production has been pushed back a little farther than I originally intended. However, I promise it will be worth it!
