A FRAGILE TRUST Facebook Page launches – Become a Fan!

With production officially wrapped, and post-production officially underway, we can officially say we are getting closer to wrapping up this project! Starting in March, I will be working closely with award winning editor Jean-Philippe Boucicaut to finish a rough cut for the film. I have also assembled a team of amazing multi-media producers (including Sam Ward and Mark Luckie) to help me develop an exciting online companion project that explores two of the main themes of the film: Ethics in Journalism and diversity in the newsroom. Stay tuned for more on that. In the meantime, stay up to date by becoming a fan on Facebook! Just go here and click “Become a Fan” if you haven’t done so already.
