Tell Your Friends! Coming August 24th 2007!


Interview photos with Hamline Law Professor Robin Magee on Censored Rap music. The crew prepared so many interviews, that today they had to break into teams for interviews and editing.

EDITING, EDITING & EDITING

Now is the time crews hunker down and cut up the footage, find the music and begin to make a whole out of the pieces. Crews worked hard today building their movies. Editors had it pretty easy until today. The rough cut is due in a day and the motivation of a deadline is in the air.


During a break editors kept working. The rest of the crew shot a PSA to post on the Internet. The premiere of these three documentaries is on Friday Aug. 24th 2007.
