Meghan Duncan & James Dockery have been catching up since their time together in Kosovo a couple of years ago. This is Meghan’s second storyteller’s workshop. [NIKON Z 6, VR Zoom 24-105mm f/4G IF-ED, Mode = Aperture Priority, ISO 140, 1/200, ƒ/5.6, (35mm = 24)]

We have a teaching schedule that requires the subjects to be available to the storytellers for 3 to 4 days during our first time in the field. Meghan’s person had some job come up at the last moment which through her whole project either out and we find a substitute or as Meghan pushed for was to pack all the process into a couple of days.

Since this was Meghan’s second workshop, Jeff Raymond decided to let her, along with the support of Bill Bangham, go with her on getting the b-roll to meet that deadline.

The project’s success dramatically affected how motivated Meghan was for what would require all-night editing.

Meghan was given this paragraph about Cesar:

Cesar became a believer while he was in prison. He became a spiritual leader within the prison and now wants to continue ministry as a pastor. He has started studies at the Facultad but is taking a break to get married. He is involved with a new church plant and will hopefully become the pastor of that church.

Watch how she got more by peeling the onion, as we say in storytelling.
