According to the local “Homeless Coalition”, there was a minimum of $10,000 raised directly due to the public’s viewing of this video. One of the first MAJOR videos I’d done for any reason beyond pure “fun”…I hadn’t even learned how to “ride gain” or moderate the volume of the natural sound on camera and the soundtrack.
(I give full credit for the success to the powerful song by once-homeless Louisiana singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier, btw)
