Kalypso’s New Orleans: Katrina + 1 Year is a wonderful 30+ minute film made by an 11-year old girl. She also did a film at the 6-month mark. She interviews her friends and neighbors [some of whom now live in Houston] and gives you an honest take on what it means to miss New Orleans as well as its optimism. I think it gets stronger around the 20 minute mark, but you should really watch the whole thing; she even mentions Rising Tide and interviews Maitri.

BTW–sorry I haven’t posted those conference notes yet. I have audio too. It will go up tomorrow when I am working from school.

Here is a pic of me, Maitri, and Kalypso.
