Part Three of documenting my process of making my first documentary. It was another eventful week as I got my main foundational interview filmed with Wanda and Ronnie Hawkins! It was so incredibly fascinating hearing all of their stories about living in Mississauga in the 60s, and of course, their stories of hosting John Lennon & Yoko Ono at their home for several weeks back in Dec. 1969.
We DID encounter a few hiccups along the way as you'll hear about at 00:50 but we just rolled with it as best as we could, and it turned out great!
The next major hurdle is finding out who the owners of the former Hawkins home are, and reaching out to them for permission to film their property. Stay tuned...
