And so you have the chance to do some problem solving on the fly, while also putting together what ends up being a great production with a great level of teamwork that we have as well.
So with this episode of Almanac North, we have our hosts, Mary and Brett on location.
They're interviewing a few different folks related to the documentary.
So one of them is Keith Hopkins, the filmmaker for the, the documentary.
Then we have, Billy Dafoe, who's a veteran service officer here in the North.
And then we have Ronald, who's a, retired, member of the US Army, a veteran who talks about his service and what it's meant to him over the years, as well.
so with all the different moving pieces, the coordination, all the different crew members in two different locations, it's a lot of hard work and dedication that goes into putting together a cool product.
They get to sit back at home and watch and enjoy.
