NARRATION PART 2
I was not sure where the journey would take me but I
was prepared for the adventure ahead. Under normal
circumstances, I would have made the trip to Texas to
meet Myrtle but with the global pandemic this option
was out of the question.
I had a preliminary zoom call with Myrtle and her 70
year old daughter Pat to discuss the idea of doing a
documentary about her – I was excited and nervous at
the same time as I had never met them before and I had
no idea how receptive they would be to my proposal. The
meeting seemed to go well but on a subsequent email
they explained that due to Covid they would be limited
to doing a Zoom interview rather than more extensive
filming which meant that my preliminary plans for the
documentary had to be altered. This was entirely
understandable. Having been inspired by Louis Theroux’s
latest documentary on ‘Shooting Joe Exotic’ I was not
going to let Covid get in the way of my short film.
