We have a working title for the film, and while there are still a handful of interviews to shoot, the editing is underway, with hopes of a finished cut by spring.
All in all, we have 33 interviews amounting to roughly 25 hours of primary footage that will go into making a finished film in the 75-to-85-minute range. Obviously, the generosity of so many prominent writers and illustrators with their time has been wonderful, and the happy problem will be to come to the finished product out of such a wealth of material.
The film’s first journeys will be to film festivals in 2010 and possibly into 2011. We’ll post here with news on that.
Happy Thanksgiving!
