Posted project update #11Happy New Year from FIXED!
Post Comment
Dear friends of Fixed,
It has certainly been an exciting fall for the world and for Fixed. After the exhilarating success of our Kickstarter campaign, we set to work on the next stages of the film. We interviewed Milton Reynolds of Facing History and Ourselves about the history of the U.S. eugenic movement, and Sujatha Jesudason with Generations Ahead about prenatal screening technologies, sex selection and disability deselection, and filmed performance artist, writer and English and Disability Studies scholar Dominika Bednarska about how ableism is reproduced in society. We also filmed a classroom debating the social value of prenatal screening technologies at the Lick-Wilmerding High School in San Francisco; at the Abilities Expo in San Jose; and most recently with Fernanda Castelo, a test pilot for Ekso Bionics' new exoskeleton. Fernanda even got us out on the water a few weeks ago to film with the Bay Area Association for Disabled Sailors (see photos). Quite a blast!
Crew news: Two terrific new production assistants came on board for the fall. Karla Claudio Betancourt and Jackie Grieff have contributed their skills and enthusiasm to the project in a variety of ways from assisting with the last production shoots, designing the new Fixed t-shirt, poster, and button, to transcribing hours of new footage. Many thanks to you both for your hard work!
I also want to welcome back editor-extraordinaire Josh Peterson who edited the Fixed trailer last year and will now be helping me bring the rough cut and all of this great new footage together to craft the final film. Josh has been cutting documentaries for almost twenty years. He was nominated for a national Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Editing in 2009 for his work on Soldiers of Conscience. He also edited The Rape of Europa, which was nominated for an Emmy for Best Historical Programming and short-listed for a Best Documentary Academy Award. I'm very honored to work with Josh again. Be sure to check out his latest film, Blood Makes the Green Grass Grow, just released this fall.
Next steps: Fixed will be released this spring. We are wrapping up the last round of filming and will begin editing on January 23rd and then the final steps of post-production. In the meanwhile, please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments. Follow Fixed news by joining our Facebook page and our e-newsletter.

A note to our Kickstarter supporters Posters and t-shirts were sent out last week. Please let us know if you still need to provide us with your mailing address. Digital downloads will be sent electronically after the film is completed. DVDs and the "Professor Xavier Neural Enhancement" package (coffee, mug & DVD) will be sent approximately 1-2 months after the film is finished as we complete the special features. The teaching curriculum and companion DVD will take a few more months to complete after this. Thanks for your patience and for supporting Fixed! We couldn't make this film without YOU!
If you missed the Kickstarter campaign, we could certainly still use your support with the final stages of post-production. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation. You can also order your own Fixed t-shirts, posters, and buttons, or pre-order DVDs here too!
Wishing you all the best. We look forward to sharing Fixed with you in 2012!
Warmly,
Regan Brashear, Producer/Director
