The
documentary is going well; I am doing intensive editing now of the 40 interviews, 1000
images, and several videos available to work from. The intern I have is working out
better than I could have imagined. Funds are already looking low, but I am
applying for grants and will launch a second campaign in a week or so.
The last
bunch of interviews really helped shape the story. I interviewed Fran Woodward
Richardson, whose father framed work for David in the 50's and early 60's and
who took art lessons from David's short lived, The Covered Bridge School; and
Susan May, who lived with the Baker family as a child; Otis and Terry Port, who
are funding this work and who published David in American Artist; Kim Beals and
Joan Sherman, who both helped David market his work. Also, Nancy, David's daughter,
recently handed me a package of a couple hundred more photos to scan in.
It's looking good folks!
