<p>I&#x27;ve been working on this <a href="/tags/documentary/" rel="tag">#documentary</a> about one of my mentors, David MacDonald since 2022. He was a professor at Syracuse University for over forty years and is a beloved figure in the <a href="/tags/ceramics/" rel="tag">#ceramics</a> world. This project has been an immense undertaking. My hope is to finish shooting by spring 2027 and to complete post-production by 2028. </p><p>At this point, I think we could benefit from the addition of a producer.
