We started the studio by brainstorming ideas for films. We acumulated a long list of ideas and that night we preparded a pitch for our favorite film idea. The winners were: CRLS food, street performers, and mental health at MIT. We chose to focus on street performers. At first, we thought that our movie would be a compilation of different music and stories from various street performers we would find, but then we found one man who's story was compelling and amazing, and we decided to make him our character. We interviewed him and recorded him playing, and we decided on a good overall scheme of our movie. We chose our music to reflect music of street performers we had heard, and to support the themes we had chosen. We also spent many hours riding around the T filming the trains and the people who pass by street performers every day.
