As of today we welcomed on our finishing editor to get GenX over the finish line. This is a crucial step in telling the best story possible. For those outside of the industry, here is a brief summary for why we had to do this.

Documentaries, like all films, require a story editor. For GenX, out of necessity, that was me (Eli) for the vast majority of time. Mostly, because editors are very expensive. However, as GenX grew and evolved that became harder. Especially when it became more involved with my personal life. On top of this, also being the director, producer, and 50x other rolls, being the editor became a big problem. This story and most of the footage is deeply connected to my life and lived experience.

We always wanted a separate editor once we had the funds and last year this was the plan - and then my editor got cancer.

So we had a backup, my trusted producer who had all the time to work on it, and then he also got cancer.

So once again, out of necessity for our planned screenings in January, I had to edit what I could. But ultimately it was clear that this was a temporary fix that only an outside editor could actually complete.

We’ve now met several times and have developed a plan to finish the film with his guidance to meet the needs for the story and the communities whose stories are contained within. We hope this will go as efficiently as possible.

In the meantime, we are still planning out our tour and rely on external support to make all of this happen. Please consider making a donation to our campaign.

Thank you so much for following along with this long journey, we are almost over the finish line.

With admiration,

Eli
