American Derelict Homeless in an American Small Town Ashland Oregon Documentary

First Documentary I made freshman (2008) year . the audio is poor and editing is flawed.... The community is torn between supporters and people who just want them to go away. Aram Hampson SOU 2007-2008
The 'film' is missing an opposing view point as interviews were difficult to get. Many did not want to be on film bashing the homeless. The economy has been a big part of the growing homeless population.

@mermaidcandy i did not just post it.. I made it. first doc.. or video for that matter I ever did

[aramhampson]

this is the bad copy..

[aramhampson]

the audio is poor. I was just learning how to do all these things. It did not come out anything like I wanted, but was limited by my understanding of software etc.

And they all look the very same in any city. Long disheveled hair, untrimmed nasty beards smelly clothes. They refuse to bathe or wash their clothes.Give them $10 and do you think they'll spend it on soap, toothbrush or a razor or $1.25 for washing heir pants? Fuck no, It's right back to the liquor store for a couple of quarts of cheap beer and a rest in our public parks where we are afraid to take or kids. I hate the rats.

Those fucking bums wouldn't last one week in any job. Guaranteed to be true.

I hate the nasty homeless rats. The VAST majority of them are career vagabonds, not some "poor family down on their luck who recently lost their job".

the music is appropriate, well done, thanks

[SCobserverDavid]

the music is v annoying. and makes it hard to hear/listen to. otherwise it's good. but the music is very bad and detracts a lot from the reality.
