Loving paper and pens as I do, it was pure fun to spend a few hours shooting stationary objects while listening to Gail talk about "life, the universe and everything".  Gail and Barry have been finding office supplies and pens  we need or just want, for years. I spent a few hour on a Saturday AM with Gail talking about her work.  I loved the way the stacks of merchandise created patterns and I am afraid I was thinking about "paintings" as I shot and not film. Considering my turgid filming and editing, Gail's lively personality has a lot of dead weight to carry in this project  - but she is up to the task.

Several years ago, a small group of filmmakers set out with a dream to make a documentary film about street musicians from around the world.  That dream has grown not only into a reality, but into a global sensation called Playing For Change, and has touched the lives of millions of people.

While traveling to around the world to film and record these musicians, the crew became intimately involved with the music and people of each community they visited.

Many of these people lived very modestly in communities with limited resources; nevertheless, they were full of generosity, warmth, and above all they were connected to each other by a common thread: music.
