American Furry: Life, Liberty, and the fursuit of Happiness (Another documentary on us furs)

We've opened up the doors on the general public's curiosity on just what we are.

I'm happy to see news articles that give a general idea or elabourate on what is witnessed, rather than expressing any emotional dialogue. It allows people to judge for themselves after the facts are given.

But I do have a question. If asked on who or what we are, should we be encouraged to respond (truthfully, of course), or should we refuse? I guess I have a fear that whatever I would say describing the furry fandom would be used against us (even though I would have no intention of saying anything negative, it is possible that something could be misinterpreted.)

Absolute paranoia.

Are you really implying that by putting American in front of the name it's suddenly a dark and evil thing?

Well then, fuck. I better stay away from American Cheese!

The title is fairly unassuming and funny. I imagine that 'American' was placed so the pun on 'Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness' - you know, that thing from the AMERICAN constitution - would have more impact.

This sort of paranoia is the reason we get picked on so much.

But then there's that rock song "American Woman", which was a huge hit in its day! So it's all good. :3

I said 'another' in reference to all the documentaries out there, and I wasn't sure if anyone had posted a link to this or not.

The desire to dream is primordial. Some evolutionary process has instilled life on this planet with the ability to dream. It is essential to survival. Even dogs dream.

Looks interesting. I'm actually waiting for this one, because it really peaks my curiosity. I wonder how detailed they'll get.

In a tough situation, remember, logic, not blind emotion, will help one prevail.

No.

Great...That's all we need. People running around saying their furry and then dictating groups on what's furry and what's not.it will be madness in ten years. but on a lighter note, no negative press will come out.

Haben sie zu hause?

Not to be all correcty, but I wouldn't hold your breath. It could be a year or two yet.

I used to work in post-production before my current employment (I was a video editor) and post-production, especially of a documentary, is an extensive and long-running process that can take forever. It's moreso involved when doing a documentary because there's no script. When you start a scripted film, you know what the shots are going to be and it's more a matter of cutting them together with a good rhythm. When you do a documentary, you need to sit down, analyse and log all your footage and then try and build a story out of what you have.

All we saw from it was raw footage, which means it could be six months to a year (or more) before we see the film.

Not trying to discourage, I just wouldn't get all worked up thinking it's coming any day now. It's prolly gonna be a while.
