DAY 29

After a short drive up to San Francisco, we unpacked the car, voted, and met up with Lila. Lila and Michael hit the streets for a few more interviews on the big day. We had some good conversations, but it seemed that many people were starting to get burned out by all the talk about voting.

In the end, we feel that the timing of our trip was just right. As we started our journey, people were becoming interested and informed about elections, and were eager to talk. A month later, we've hit a spot of election saturation. That's OK-- That will give us some time to work with the footage we have and identify people we would like to contact for additional interviews.

After 9278.8 miles, more than 100 interviews, nearly 30 hours of footage and visits to 29 states, the big roadtrip is over. We'll continue to update this blog as production moves forward, but not on a daily basis. Among other developments, we will create a website dedicated entirely to the movie and look forward to posting some interview clips as we start the editing process. If you would like us to let you know when the new website is up, send an e-mail to either lila@lahoodproductions.com or mike@lahoodproductions.com and we will add you to our mailing list.
