Update #2: thank you all, so much!
over the last couple of weeks, i've amassed most of the equipment i'm going to need for this trip and tested everything out so i know what all my limits are, and some of the results from that testing will be up on the progress blog.
but! in the meantime, i just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of you who've shown your support. i'm quite excited to get rolling on this project in earnest, and it wouldn't have been possible without those of you who not only made contributions but also helped to raise awareness.
i'll be embarking on the road trip across california in the month of april and, once done, spending as much time as it takes to put together the best edit i can manage while planning this project's future.
we've got us a movie to make!

New, cool and exciting things are on the way -- but I can't tell you what they are yet! Keep your eyes peeled...

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
My name is La Mar "spinach" Williams II, and my attraction to journalism has everything to do with me being heavily drawn to people who make things -- craftworks, illustrations, music, games -- anything. I've worked in videojournalism off and on over the last decade. I've been known to play a videogame on occasion.
Awesome!
If you come to the San Francisco bay area give me a holler, I'll buy you lunch or something. :)
