easier than it looks

Hello Boys and Girls,
Hope everyones documentaries are going well! But if you like me then you will or are quickly learning it's not quite as painless as you first thought and things don't always go as planned, but this is what documentary film making is all about. What do you do when your film about brotherhood and surfing just turns into a film about a brother. Time after time i have tried to contact one of the brothers and they are either always busy or just have no interest in making this documentary, which would be just fine with me if it wasn't about that person. And then when do you pass that line between letting that person know you have interest in the film and pestering that person. All i can do is try right now try, but the fact that the two brother aren't talking right now isn't making anything any easier on me. And to be honest i'm not as concerned about my grade as much as i am about producing a good, a really good documentary that actually means something to the viewer. However on the brightside i already have a lot of good footage and i'm shooting a surf contest this weekend so thats "money in the bank." It's still pretty early into the project and I'm convinced that things can change for the better by the time all this is over. Either-way it will all be on film so I'm good!
