2nd place winner of the judges selections 2009 Fairfax Short Documentary Film Challenge.

It is about Michael, a homeless person living in the hills around Fairfax. It goes into the reason why he is homeless, what it is like to be homeless in Fairfax, and his larger concerns in life.

The challenge itself was to complete a 4-minute documentary in 48 hours.
Official judging was at the Fairfax Theater 4 P.M. Sunday, April 5th.

Due to the extraordinary enthusiasm of the homeless people we had the privilege to interview and the depth of material we acquired I am editing a longer 30-minute piece to be shown on cable T.V.

This was a truly humbling and remarkable experience and I thank all who helped make it possible.

We feel extremely proud of this work.
