exittheapple vaults PART 1

What I’m about to do here might seem simple to you but for me is extremely hard. I have a habit of burying or throwing away things that are old or that I feel are not polished & perfect. The danger in that is you might loose perspective on what you have accomplished. You also run the risk of burning out & feeling you constantly need to start from zero. Despite the numerous awards I won for this as a teen I have not screened this in several years and as I write this my stomach is hurting at the thought of you seeing it but I need to do this for me. Thank you for the opportunity to be courageous. Pierre Bennu.

Thank you for your feed back it means alot!
Lamont Belton (one of the guys chasing me & fellow filmmaker) reminded me that I DID NOT know how to edit on video before this film. I learned how to edit video cutting this piece together in 2 days with no sleep.

Bravo! Although I’ve only seen one other work of yours–the excellent montage of black dance with Imani Uzuri’s incredible “score”–I think your work is brilliant.
