On Friday September 5th I met with a potential subject for my documentary project involving the Syracuse Shockwave. Chuck Iavarone is everything I am looking for in a subject. After meeting with him I felt like I’d have an interesting story no matter what transpired. I’ve found something for sure, yet I don’t feel at ease. Finding a potentially good story has a way of putting the pressure on. If a story has the potential to be great, then I have the responsibility to make it great. At this point it seems that if the film falls short it is the fault of the filmmaker, not the sequence of events that are about to transpire. I am nervous that my lack of experience might prove to be a hurdle in telling this story in the best possible manner. But I guess that’s why I’m here.
