Nick and I filmed in front of Norman Thomas High School today, then at Ben & Jerry's. People stopped and listened. One man, Latino, middle aged, said he grew up nearby, always walked past and looked inside because he couldn't afford the ice cream. A bus came and I thought he got on. Nick and I went inside, he wanted to get some shots, have me eat some ice cream. That man walked in and asked the young man behind the counter if he could fill out a job application. The young man said Ben & Jerry's didn't have job applications. The older man man should just leave off a resume. He didn't have one on him, so he left. I was wondering, how do middle aged people pay all their expenses working behind the counter of an ice cream shop? Ben & Jerry's is great, no doubt. Great flavors. Community concerned. Poverty is hard and complex.
Eric wants me to be looking at a building. We signed a NDA. How do you look at a building and make 5 videos to build that elusive "author's platform"?
