Over the last few months, Martin Duckworth<\/a> and I have been shooting the rehearsals and recording sessions for a song for the orphans in Haiti, much more numerous since the January earthquake. <\/strong>The recording of the song is an initiative by G\u00e9thro Auguste, the head of a community cultural organization called Culture X<\/a> in Montreal North, a neighborhood known as ‘underprivileged.’<\/strong> It is home to the largest concentration of Haitians in Montreal, as well as immigrants from Latin America and North Africa – in addition to the Caucasian population. And the song: first, there will be a single, later a video clip.<\/strong> We are finding the whole experience very touching and inspiring, and I am thinking perhaps we could make a fifteen-minute film in addition to the music video. But where would we show the short film ? ( There is a link between these shoots and one of my film projects, more about that another time.)<\/p>\n
