3rd Cut El Trompo Best Quality from Helyx Chase on Vimeo.

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!

I create this project to tell a story. A story that can be compared to the millions of other similar stories, but also one that is completely rooted in the unique history of one specific community. This story is, I hope, a piece that pays dignity and respect to it's subjects in a way that continually challenges and pushes my reality. I am not a voice of authority or vast knowledge. I speak as an observer, an outsider. There is no quick fix to the problems that I present. However, my hope is that with more awareness we can re-think the way we see ourselves, and within that, how we see others.
