Picture. Perfect. Feature

Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year’s! Can’t believe we’re already in 2013…

Enjoying the ice rink in Good ol’ Chicagers! 

We, along with Ellie (Aaron’s girlfriend), were able to spend about 8 days in Kentucky on a research trip for our feature of “Picture. Perfect.” and can’t put into words how beneficial our trip was out there. We flew first into Chicago then rented a car and drove to Owsley, KY, where we stayed at a Mission house for the remainder of our trip.

Now, we’re finally able to focus on consolidating all our research and can begin the rewrite process. 

Funny picture we came across in the town we were staying at in Booneville, KY.

The people we met out there were both warm and inviting; opening up their house and their lives to us by taking us in for meals and sharing story upon story. Though they don’t have much, they do enjoy life to the fullest and invited us to partake in their culture without reservation or hesitation.

Though the entire trip was beneficial, one of the most eye opening days entailed us meeting with the producers and filmmakers of Appalshop, located in Whitesburg, KY. We chatted with the director and other members of her team for a bit, then bought some of their DVD’s that pertained to documentaries specific to their culture and way of life. 

Our schedule consisted of gathering information during the day via meetings, scheduled interviews, visitations to the local courthouse, diners, churches, etc, then meeting back at our rooms and recording/consolidating information.

We’re super excited about the direction of the script and will keep you all updated with the progress of “Picture. Perfect.” 

Thanks everyone!
