A DOC'S JOURNAL by Scott Solary

MobLogic took a crew down to Georgia to get a first-hand look at the Death Penalty and the execution of Samuel David Crow.

We've posted five shows so far, three of those were today(!) and we'll continue to post multiple shows daily through the week! They've sparked a great conversation on our site. I encourage everyone to come be a part of a very important issue and a landmark event in web video.

Here they are:

Execution Day: What Would You Do?

Lindsay Vlogging to the Airport

Georgia Covers the Death Penalty?

For or Against in Georgia?

and an awesome inerview with the Southern Center for Human Rights President and Lead Counsel, Stephen Bright

This is an awesome piece the regional network, SNN was running through the weekend of our screenings:

Here's an inciteful podcast from Noralil Ryan Fores who interviewed us for her excellent site ShortEnd Magazine: thoughts on independent film. To listen to the interview please click here: shortendmagazine.com/content/view/536/71
or find ShortEnd Magazine on iTunes.

From the Good Hard Working People blog:
She asked some really great questions, not only about All God's Children and our process, but also about other projects and our thoughts on documentaries and changes in that market in general.

We talk rather candidly about some of the obstacles and frustrations in making this film. It makes it sound a bit worse than the experience really was. At first I wasn't sure if it's such a good idea to talk about the struggles, because it may make us or our film look bad. But then I think that it's important to be honest with other makers and the audience: it's not all just fun or easy and we all go through difficult times with our projects. It's probably one of the bigger frustrations when you think to everyone else it's a piece of cake and you may be the only one struggling.

When talking about how "ill-prepared" we were or how difficult it was to conduct the interviews with the abuse survivors because of how emotional it would be for us, I missed to emphasize that a lot of the difficulty came from realizing that this was causing pain to the interviewees and that we were lacking the psychological training to know if we were handling this and their stories well.

Lindsay makes journalism personal. There's a great conversation happening on the comment board at MobLogic. After you watch the show, read Adam Elend's, one of ML's executive producers, blog post about the episode.

I got my hands real dirty on the edit for this one and I'm very proud. We sent 4 cameras out on Wednesday that shot about 7 hours total The editors had selects picked by late Thursday morning. Roman, Adam and I pulled a 24 hour shift to get all the best B-roll into the cut before posting the show. I hope you enjoy it. There's lots of love in this one.

The follow-up episode is sure to spark a heated conversation about the boundaries of journalism. It'll run Sunday and Monday, so watch the show and join the conversation at www.moblogic.tv
