These have been a bit of a rough two weeks with filming. We have been cancelled on twice, two weekends in a row to go up to Carolina Tiger Rescue for interviews. Unfortunately it is our of hands as they have cancelled because of snow/ice and because of a recent death of a veteran tiger at the rescue. While in this weird limbo with Spring Break and getting cancelled on twice, I have been planning and working on what other b-roll I would like in the film. For instance, I am working on a animations that further clarifies where these animals are native to, where they end up and what states, like NC, do not have a ban on exotic animals as pets. I have also been keeping up with social media and am saving posts that have to do with people fantasizing about wanting a tiger cub or lion cub for a pet. Surprisingly, people post about this fantasy quite often. I also have recently stumbled upon a photo of a girl on spring break holding a lion cub in Mexico. Two of the lions at the rescue, were rescued from a place in Mexico just like this. These lions are used for photos as cubs, but of course they don't stay cubs forever.
It has been a frustrating two weeks with not being able to film, but I have found other aspects of the project to work on. Nick has been working on getting our marketing details together and found an awesome artist who painted a tiger for us to use as a poster/tshirt. Hopefully we will be able to go up to the rescue soon and finally get an interview!
