Portfolio Project A: Schedule

    I have decided that in order to present topic that I want to share, I will be doing an episodic documentary. The idea I have for my documentary is to share stories of grief and the overcoming and growth that follows. I will begin this documentary with encouraging others to share their grief by beginning with my own. I hope to get my mom to sit for an interview and share our family's story. She has always instilled in us that our story was something that may help others and that it what I hope to do with this series.
