UPDATE: Here is the interview, MP3 format.
I have an interview on CBC Radio’s “Freestyle” program next Tuesday, February 6 (air time TBA) — and the subject is water buffalo movie we made last month. Check out their web site for the actual broadcast.
Thanks again to everyone who watched the movie, if you’re interested on learning more about the story, tune in to the interview (or visit their site for more information.)
I nearly forgot that I took pictures while shooting the water buffalo movie. (There are a few other establishing shots in there, too.)
Wow, what a response. We’re touched by all the emails, feedback, comments, and different web sites that have already picked this story up in such a short amount of time.
News:
- I have added a ‘low-bandwidth’ version of the movie here for all the viewers with slower connections.
- in just about 48 hours, we’ve had people contact us wanting to fly to China to give a gift of some sort themselves, we’ve had book offers, thousands of people have already viewed the movie, people want to donate more water buffalos, I’ve received a lot of nice words about my cover of The Fray’s “How to Save a Life” in the soundtrack (… alright!), and most importantly, people are thinking about this issue, talking about it, debating it, it’s great!
Thank you all for your kind words and thoughtful emails, and if you enjoyed the short, please pass it along to a friend.
WATCH 4 GENERATIONS: The Water Buffalo Movie Comment ยป
“4 Generations” is a film short documenting my journey in southwestern China (near Tibet) to first find, then deliver a water buffalo to a poor family. The water buffalo led us to a family with an phenomenal story. Inspired by author, educator, and founder of photo.net, Philip Greenspun’s post, and donated by Philip and his friend Craig.

Yesterday we drove down to Da Zhuan, a villiage in China’s Yunnan province, and found a water buffalo. We then found a family and delivered it to them.
I’m now putting the video together, it should be ready in a few days.
We are leaving for Da Zhuan in a few hours. I’ll keep everyone updated on the progress. We may stay overnight there, so I’ll have my phone if anyone needs me.
