Our US first shoot with Matthias and singer/friend Tom Buckner turned out very successfully! Thanks to both of them and to our surprise participant in Central Park, a beautiful tortoise! It looks like the animal theme will be a subplot to this film that started out with a story about Whales when we met Matthias for the first time in Heidelberg in September 2008.
Thank you so much as well to Phill Niblock and Katherine and everyone at 224 Center Street for their support! And a special toast on the Open Wings Team in the field and back in the office: especially Zelmira, Spencer and Matt! You are amazing!
