. I wanted to open a topic to ask the question: if I start the huge effort (with the great possibility of failure in this economy) to put together enough money to shoot this documentary gonzo style, would anyone here be willing to tell there stories and show their weapons, unique or common, for a national audience? The basic documentary would be a story of the model 8/81 from its birth to its death, and then about the underground movement to keep the weapon alive by historically minded people. The vehicle for telling the story would be the owners of the guns, who show off their weapons and tell about John Browning, the use of the weapons in the prison system and by police, the use of the weapons by hunters (especially in the Northeast), the end of production by Remington, and its modern resurgence.
It is possible it could be produced assembly style at first, with people following my instruction on how to use their own cameras to capture video, with the video being edited by me here, and then gradually replacing the home made video with professional interviews.
Anyone interested?
