Mr. Charlie Georgia Film Crew (2)
Shout Out/Team Intro 2:
Valentine Terrell-Monfeuga, award-winning sound designer and engineer, now reinvented as tech trouble-shooter, customer advisor and trainer with Bark.us, a new company that helps parents protect their kids online… you made the filming in Georgia smooth and fun. We wouldn’t have done as much or as well without you, the magic catalyst in all situations. Thank you for being a perfect seat mate on the flight and roommate at the slightly moldy Athens Holiday Inn, driving Atlanta to Athens and then all around campus endlessly wherever we needed to go. Thanks for assisting Kyle on audio recording, mic-ing me and our distinguished interviewees, making sure we had take out food and places to eat in the evening. Thanks for all your photos, especially the ones at the Tree That Owns Itself (that you found!) Smoked catfish, fried green tomatoes and okra tasted even better with you. Sandy Creek and Lake Lanier on our day off refreshed me…
You knew Charlie well and had the full-on South Georgia experience as a kid, swimming in the lakes he created, marvelling at the tree farm, hearing his stories, sitting by the fire at night listening to the frogs and watching the stars, swatting mosquitoes. Charlie took us on the glass bottom boat at Wakulla Springs among the alligators and canoeing at the Okefenokee swamp. (I will dig up the pictures).
When you first heard me mention this project you signed on and you were there 100% at a very busy time in your personal and professional life. Bravo, above and beyond the call of duty. To be continued xxxxx
Love you!
(More about our interviews coming soon.)
