People and Music Are

Central to New  Wales Film

 

By Monty Brown

Marsha and I have finished filming in Wales. We are now back in Bossier City, LA, dealing with 10 weeks worth of backlog and sorting through mini-DV tapes, beginning the process of editing.

We are trying something new with Wales: Land of Song. It’ll still be a travel film, but Welsh people and Welsh music will be central elements. This should give more of the feeling we get from traveling. We’re musicians, so we always meet other musicians. Marsha is a people person, so we have a lot of interchange with the local population; and I spent years in radio doing interviews.

During our last two films, The English Channel, and Etched in Stone, we started inserting live musical performance, and we’ll develop that some more in Wales.

When we left England in July and headed for Wales, our English friends laughed and advised, “Take your Wellies.” Which translates into, “Wales is a very rainy place.” Seems strange coming from the English who live in a wet country, right next to Wales, but it was good advice and we were lucky to catch as much sun as we did.

The last couple of days it “chucked it down.” Pontypridd, Tom Jones home town, is not an attractive sight in the rain.

No amount of rain could deter us from returning to Wales to hang out with the new friends we made this summer
