As regular readers of my SWCamborne will know for almost two years now I have been working on a documentary film about immigration. Click here to read my first post about it. Specifically I wanted to make a film that asked the question: “Is there a basic human right to migrate?” It has been terrific learning experience. Technically about how movies are made and intellectually about the immigration issue.
The final product, thanks to Dave Szamet and Brian Ging, is much better than I deserve. It is so good in fact that we have submitted it to the Sundance Film Festival with a reasonable chance of being selected.
The press release on the submission begins:
Los Angeles, CA (October 1, 2007)—Camborne Productions announced today that the new feature documentary Beyond Borders has been submitted to the Sundance Film Festival. Subtitled “The Debate Over Human Migration,” the film takes a wide-ranging look at the subject of immigration, both from historical and modern perspectives. Prominently featured is the current fight over Mexican immigration in the United States. To read the entire story click here.
