Sensitive Subjects

After a few days of scrambling to organize this project, I've come to a settlement on a topic that is relevant to the arts, politics, and culture in general. I'm going to work with K-State freshman Clay Massingill and follow him through his preparation for performing in the K-State theater production of Columbinus. The play focuses on the tragedy of the Columbine school shootings, and Clay portrays Eric Harris, the leader of the massacre. I'll attempt to capture the emotional hardships he endures throughout his research, preparation, and performance of his part. I've been granted access to shoot a dress rehearsal of the play tonight, and Clay and I will work on an interview and some lifestyle work tomorrow. It should be a great piece.
