I had hoped to post this on Facebook but it's two minutes too long. Total length is 22 minutes. It's worth watching every minute to see Lily step onto the stage with such grace to present a short documentary she had been working on since the summer.  Ann McMaster took Lily with her to South Africa in the summer of 2009 so Lily could research and craft a senior project around the theme of 'A Hero's Journey' as it is played out in the lives of the three women she interviews in South Africa.  Lily did a very large portion of the story creation and editing work over the fall semester. All I did was help with the polish in Final Cut Pro to reduce the frustration factor of having to learn FCP editing while focusing on finishing her senior year at the Austin Waldorf school. FCP can be nerve racking to try to learn quickly.

Just for a little fun I added an intro that I took with a cool little Kodak HD camera. Glad I just grabbed and shot with it as it worked perfectly to show how Lily was getting ready and dealing with the stress of stepping out on stage after waiting so long for this moment (12 years actually).
