The Editquette Project: A Kendama Documentary
Sean Saephanh. This guy had a vision and went for it. Sean is a local SacKendama player who has developed a strong sense of belonging to kendama. He's very caring for the local 'dama community and for his senior project in high school, he came up with this. Although it's not the most professional approach to a topic of high caliber, I guess it's the thought that counts. This was a well-documented film about the several local faces in scene and a brief introduction to kendama's efforts for people who just don't quite understand what it's about.
As someone who was planning on doing a film similar to this one, I'd have to say that despite not enough time being put into this project, it was well executed for the time available. I wish more thought would've gone into the project because when I spoke to Sean about it, it seemed like it was headed in a proper direction. Overall, more research into the community could've definitely benefited the project, but what he's presented is pretty "moving" enough. I enjoyed seeing this other side to the local 'dama community, which I'm not usually aware about. =]
-P.S. Craft helps too.
