CLAM 10

so i have been bouncing ideas around for a while now about what exactly my "documentary" should be about and it has not been and easy decision to make. i've danced around with multiple social and economical issues, such as the squatter population and La Rambla touristic terror, but none have captured my heart as much as ROCK CLIMBING and the community it includes. Climbing, or more specifically bouldering, is an activity i already enjoy back in the states. But, being able to continue doing it here and finding that the community of people are just as, for lack of a better word, cool and friendly with anyone has truly been my best experience here in Spain. it is for this reason i want my final project to be a documentary on the climbing community and the relationships that blossom from a common passion. my only regret is that i will also be climbing through out Europe and will be staying with other climbers (compliments of Couchsurfers.com) but it is not until after our final project is due.

  1. Maybe you could compare the Spanish and other climbing communities?
    Also, hooray for couchsurfers! Good luck!

  2. Sounds like you've discovered an "ethnic" group that is not defined by color or race or national origin. Interesting! Is this the "social/public policy" project? What is in the works for the personal and the professional projects?
