O.K. I've told you a little bit about Iosepa... I thought I should now talk about the efforts it takes to put a documentary film together.
I've worked in TV news for over 14 years now. During that time, I never really worried about the financial aspect of what I do.... and now that I think of it, it costs a LOT! You have to keep these things in mind when your trying to put an hour to hour 1/2 film together.
Here's some basic numbers to wrap your head around.... 1 hour of raw (unedited) video equals 1 minute of edited video. A camera crew rate is about $1500 a day. Travel costs $$$...editing costs $$$$...producers, writers, post productions, legal stuff and more and more $$$$.
To start raising money, you need to either be a non-profit (501c3) or be sponsered by a non-profit organization.
My plan is to acquire a HD camera and an editing system so I can do most of the work myself.

In August 1889 a group of Hawaiian pioneers settled in Skull Valley, Utah. My great-grandfather, John K N Mahoe was one of those original settlers. They built a township and named it Iosepa in honer of Joseph F. Smith a former Hawaiian missionary and prophet of the LDS church. I made this blog to keep family and friends updated with my progress on a documentary film about Iosepa and those who lived there.
