New COPA project

[Peter Lemkin]

Jan Klimkowski may be able to give you some helpful advice. He's made documentaries although probably on a bigger budget than you're planning. But he is near your corner of the world and may have good ideas of where to find things and people that you can use. Might save you from having to re-invent the wheel. Worth a PM I think.

Yes, Jan would be a good contact and person to pick the brain of. I assume you have some idea of who you'd like to interview. Some will give interview w/o problem, others need months of courting and some will be afraid or scared-off if you don't approach them very quietly and with sensitivity! I'd even contact Nigel West. Gil Jesus would be another for possible use of some of what he has posted and knows about. It will take more money and more time than you think...... Many authors and researchers are good speakers, have good info and insights and not known by the public. I'd suggest this end-up on a website where one can get references and 'further reading' etc.
