Return of the Ginkers
Posted on 7:49 PM by Rob
I began my student teaching internship today. In honor of this, and the many students I may someday teach, I return to the film after a 2 week break and begin a new post. And, I offer a simple picture of a metal girl receiving her diploma from a crusty white dude. Simple enough for me. Hopefully simple enough for all of you.
We return to an almost-completed feature film. After almost a dozen interviews, the Rucksack Films crew gears up for the final push. It basically amounts to this: 1 or 2 more interviews, and about 10 years of archival basic television footage to peel through. The bitch of it is that scheduling always amounts to delays. Delays equal energy being wasted. All of the crew works, has social / familial obligations. Shoot, a few of them moonlight in various odds and ends working as recording artists, toy designers, even teachers. In the end, it is precisely this working class ethic that binds us together and allows the love to shine through. The sweat makes it all worthwhile.
So coming next, an interview with Mark Nonestied, township historian, author, television host and all around gentleman scholar. We will be filming at the museum in the historic village of Old Bridge.
After Mark, we aim to film Melanie Rodriguez, the first lady of Ginkers.
Postings to follow along with updated pics.
