It's been several months since I've had an opportunity to send an update. Since returning from the Middle East, it's been extraordinarily busy, and I've been working under some strict NDA's lately. More than that though, I've been holding off sending anything new until I could show you this. The picture above will take you to the proof-of-concept trailer for the WAR-TOYS documentary.

The four weeks I spent in Jerusalem and the West Bank were remarkable. I met so many amazing people, committed to helping children throughout the region. The individual boys and girls I collaborated with were brilliantly creative, articulate, and astonishingly resilient.

My plan is to return in the Fall to complete the project. Over several months I'll be traveling throughout Israel, the West Bank, and parts of Gaza to collaborate with a wider cross-section of children on both sides of the conflict. I'll keep the WAR-TOYS blog updated as plans continue to develop.

My sincere thanks go to: Paul Vester, Irene Kotlarz, Dr. Jantien Dajani, the Spafford Children's Center and its staff, Montaser Alul, the Ibdaa Cultural Center and its staff, Catherine Tedford, St. Lawrence University, Kasim Al-Mashat, Manfrotto Distribution, PhotoFlex, Louie Zaza, Miruna Garabet, Slien Joia, Julie Land, Yousef Hammad, Eric Eckstein, Lisa Henson, Bill Colitre, and all of my other friends and family.

Extra thanks go to: producers Rob Wilson and Suzie Gilbert, new partners Kurt Mattila and Alex Dervin, and the entire Prologue Pictures team.

Cheers,
Brian
