OK… I’ve had a lot of time to think about what the next steps should be with this documentary. I’ve gotten incredible feedback from the viewers at the screenings in Greensboro.

Should I submit it to more film festivals?
What about distribution?
How about making copies available for schools?

All of those were great suggestions that I would be happy to oblidge. Thanks to the smart people at revver.com I’m now making my documentary available on-line for anyone to watch. Just click over to the Theater section and I will be putting up the documentary in seqments. There will be 8 segments. I will set up one each week on a rotation.

I have a job for you… Let television networks, film festivals and distributors know about it. Email them and keep commenting, love the feedback.

[Video] Scott Pryor: Pandemonium

This song is told through the eyes of one of the victims of November 3rd 1979.

Scott is a great guy and very compassionate music writer. I came across Scott due to his admiration of my documentary. He compared 3 films about the Greensboro Massacre for his thesis paper at Guilford College. I was taken aback when a mutual friend handed me a manilla envelop with his thesis in it, as I had never met Scott before. The precision of his interpretation of my documentary was astounding.

The three programs that he dissected were A&E’s “Clash With the Klan”, The History Channel Documentary “The Lawbreakers” and Greensboro’s Child.

His perspective opened my eyes to what I was doing right and what the TV programs were doing wrong.
