Quito Film Meeting
May 4, 2006

Assessment of the grant writing situation:
Anica will send SAMI grant info to Dana, who can write it up and give to Kyle to submit
Kyle will work on the other grant that he found
Mere will follow up with LOI to LASA
Anica will contact Humanities Inst. regarding the mini grant
Anica will email Mark Wilson (re: discretionary funds) and Joel Howell

Money has been coming in from fundraising letters. Anica just sent a few more and Meredith will also send some. We included the separate address for donations to be made directly to the film.

Random Stuff:
Yoni talked to Sergio re: indigenous community – there may be hostels and camping nearby the community. Or maybe we can do a homestay

Anica will find out if SAE has camping gear?

Yoni saw a film that was 2/3 B-role and 1/3 people’s stories. He said they pulled it off well with only a moderate amount of talking/interviews.

Recap of possible topics now on the table for our triptych:
• Indigenous healers
• Jaime Guevara (musician)
• Flower workers
• Retirees
• Plastic surgery – Meredith could shoot in Loja
• “Meds” being sold on buses
• Personal free clinic story

Tentative (draft) Itinerary:
Late June
Meet with Sergio
Attend conference? http://www.yachana.org/ecuatorianistas/encuentro/encuentro.html
Do preliminary/background interviews
Meredith may film in Loja (about plastic surgery)

July
First week - follow up with all contacts worth pursuing
Second week - film extended interviews (day in life)
Third week – travel to indigenous community
Week four - B role and miscellaneous/unfinished business

Yoni will contact Ann Miles – worked in Cuenca forever!
Mere will email Fernando Ortega – urban medicine – let him know what stories we are pursuing and if he has any ideas; anyone interesting we should talk to; looking for personal narratives rather than expert opinions

9:49 PM
