Friends and Fans of the Guarani Project – The Guarani Team is back!
Well, we never really left, but our communication since the ending of our Kickstarter pitch has been brief, and for that we apologize!
Our ‘hiatus’ of sorts has been anything but; in the last month we’ve made significant inroads into the cryptic 225 page World Bank Guarani Aquifer report, garnered a larger base of contacts located within the Guarani Aquifer region, and currently we are verifying the details of our travel dates, equipment expenses, and the like. We’ve also been putting together an video with our resident Hydrologist professor Michael Campana of Oregon State University, author of the blog WaterWired, which we’ve submitted to Independent Film Week’s Spotlight on Documentaries Competition. We’ll have it up on the site for your enjoyment in the next couple of days.
As busy as we’ve been moving forward with the Guarani Project, we’ve not turned a blind eye to our ongoing personal commitments to journalism and documentary of all types. Director Annabel Symington recently completed an 11 day reportage for The Truth Pursuit in Louisiana, ground-zero for the ongoing tragedy of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Mark Tipple has been making phenomenal imagery of “…life below the surface” in The Underwater Project, and Vasilios Sfinarolakis has undertaken a long-term reportage on housing projects in the North End of Hartford, CT.
As our travel date approaches we will be focusing 100% of our energies into the G.P. We will be updating you through our Blog, Facebook, and Twitter as well as publishing new video content on our Vimeo and YouTube Channels. And before we know it, we’ll be down in South America investigating the Guarani Aquifer for a truth that is currently shrouded by esoteric legal jargon and possibly deliberate misinformation.
From here on out, it’s full steam ahead.
The Guarani Team
Hi. Annabel, I have appreciated your posts from Louisiana on the BP disaster very much and wish to thank you for your good work. As you refocus your energies on Guarani, I hope that you will remember my interest in providing original music for your project. It would be wonderful to get you some quick things to use in your video updates as well as supplying you with nice music for the ultimate film. I’d love to hear back from you on this when your time permits. Brenda
Very very excited for you guys. Look forward to following it all.
