New Director of Photography/Co-director

So here's a coup:  John Westheuser has joined the team as our director of photograpy and co-director.  Maybe you've heard of such groundbreaking documentaries as Shake Hands with the Devil or Triage?  If not, rent or steal them immediately.  We are honoured to have such a talented man on our team.  A genuine veteran of African doc making - especially Rwanda - John would be embarassed by the praise I've heard about him, so I'll leave that for another day.  Suffice it to say, our game just took a leap and we are very excited. 

That's not to say we've been starved for talent.  Dan Grant pinch dp'd for us yesterday to catch the opening day of rehearsal.  Jitters, jokes and general eccentricity ruled the day (though an afternoon spent watching the Swedish production projected on a brick wall didn't make for the most compelling filmmaking - gracias Ross...)

Our quest is now on for a sound man.
