Above: shooting footage for an upcoming documentary on a community music project

Yes, it's documentary time again.

We've nearly wrapped up filming and I'll be starting with post-production this week. I'm really loving this project. It's a remarkable story of a group of kids who through music reach a higher potential. The remarkable part? Well the kids, many of them from underprivileged backgrounds, go from complete novices to playing in a full wind ensemble in only a week! Some truly inspirational stuff.

 

I have the pleasure of working with Prof. Karendra Devroop, the founder of the project and himself an accomplished musician. Karendra is also currently the director of the NWU's School of Music. We're hoping to take this one all the way to broadcast, so watch this space in the coming weeks.
