response from Tom Hansell

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for getting in touch.
It sounds like you and Sara have a great project for a documentary.

I don't know anyone involved in the Heavenly Mountain situation, but I will be
more than happy to meet with you about how to approach this documentary project.
I am out of town until Feb 8, but I am generally able to meet after 3 on
Tuesday and Thursdays and most of the day on Wednesdays.

If you want to meet, let me know a time that fits your schedule.

Yay!

slowly getting started :)

I have e-mailed Tom Hansell and asked him to give Sara and I any suggestions he may have for our documentary and the subject of Heavenly Mountain.

Sara and I met with Dr. Stanovsky Thursday at 12:30pm to further discuss our project idea and to get names of people to help us get started. He suggested that we have the majority of our shooting done by the end of February in case something unexpected happens and we need more footage or something.

Alex (from class) has a friend who would be interested in helping Sara and I with the score of our production!

From the readings:
-All of the articles said basically the same thing and from them I gathered that anyone I interview about or get involved with the Heavenly Mountain documentary must have informed consent. I cannot be biased to people, I must tell them anything I plan on doing with the video or voice I record from them and even give them opportunities to see my progress and make sure they understand everything going on.
