It truly takes a village to create art! On April 8th 2016, Robin Karfo, Sayaka Miyatani, Angela Robinson Witherspoon and myself began pre-production on a film for the PDP 3.0 class at the Richard Lawson Studios. Cut to June 10th, 2016 and principal photography on our SAG film, “Human Revolution”, ended!
From the talented actors and crew, to the motorcycles and Land Rovers, to the amazing home that became the setting for our story, to the fabulous production design and props, it takes a village. To the tribe of women chanting “Yoni, yoni, yoni…” to the rainbow-tastic boys making the world a better place, it takes a village. It takes a Human Revolution.
