TODAY we just recorded our narration voiceovers for the project with the help of Neil Gillis, our excellent sound tech and musician-in-residence. The doc is coming together beautifully. The story arc – if I can be so bold as to call it that – will follow the rise, decline and transformation of the manufacturing and textile industry and all four (six?) of our vingettes are fleshed out with colourful, real people.
We also came across a man who ties all our stories together with a macro-sized bow that seems almost too good to be true. Almost by accident, I met the outsource man himself – Roger Ibell, the man who finds the cost-effective material in Bangladesh and a needleworker in Nepal who, put together, make possible the pocketbook friendly shirt you found at American LargeBird Store. His narration provides the much-needed landscape view that ties together the intensely personal stories we tell in our half-hour show.
We are rocking this doc and I can’t wait to see the end.
