A lot of change is happening as this film comes forth -- like birthing a baby - you don't actually know what to expect. All the labor and the birth pains that go into it ( if you or your spouse have had a baby you can understand the analogy at least as far as producing a work of art in the world of filmmaking goes) when it's over and the baby comes forth so long as the birth is successful - the parent is in amazement when they look upon their new child. And that's what is happening for me as I see the new movie poster that we have up on top here. Other changes are here and they're all good.
Originally the project was called The Freedom Lost Project but when I began to release the first documentary short "Memorial" in the series -- there we just too many titles and it began to get confusing even for me, the filmmaker - "Memorial", "Freedom Lost: Restoration", "Freedom Lost Project" -- too much to try to explain and that is confusing in an age of trademark and branding.
So I believe changing the series title "Freedom Lost Project" to "Freedom Lost: Restoration" is a better name for the entire project - both documentaries and feature film. It leaves the message of hope in the series which is our goal with this film series. Using history as a tool of healing - is our aim at this time. So the official change is that we are releasing our first documentary short film "Memorial" from the Black History Series - "Freedom Lost: Restoration." It flows so much better.
I've also got a new working title for the feature film: "City of Refuge: The James City Story" . I believe that title says it all. I'm not sure if "The James City Story" will stay - but for now it's in there.
So anyhow I'm very excited about the changes.
