In addition to the internship, I feverishly continue work on the Grown Without Schooling documentary. I am writing the final script, the first script with any real legitimacy. Then, the documentary is assembled and I'm done making the video. Marketing, tape duplication and sales can and will extend into the fall and early next year, but editing needs to be completed by the time I leave for Ohio University. In late August I lose access to my video editing suite, hence feverish work to finish the project.
Contingencies are important when it comes to project management.
As of this writing, I am uncertain what I will do if editing takes too much time and extends into the fall. While I recognize the necessity of a contingency for editing, I am not certain that the documentary benefits from a wimpy deadline that can be moved. There comes a point when a strict deadline forces you to complete a project. I might be at the point where I don't want to give myself an out if I am slow in the editing process. GWS is a very big, very expensive project.
