The Florida Keys
Being based in Florida offered the crew a wealth of locations where they could capture some truly stunning visuals. But of all the places to film in Florida, perhaps none can rival The Florida Keys for their natural beauty, colorful street scenes and sparkling waters.
Christy Haussler has a home in Big Pine Key, about 45 minutes away from Key West. The crew traveled there to interview Christy about quitting her job, moving to the Keys, and turning her passion for podcasting into her profession.
However, in the course of the interview, the story took an unexpected turn. Before moving to the Keys, Christy had lived in South Carolina with her wife who she’s been with for 14 years, Allison. For the entire time they were together there, they could never be public about their relationship because in South Carolina, a well-respected teacher like Allison could lose her job if it became known that she is gay. Needless to say, this is one of the most personal and powerful stories to make it into the movie.

Paying It Forward
For the Danny Peña segment, we interviewed a young lady named Yamilia Avendano whose gaming blog site, Twinfinite.net, Danny helped get launched by introducing her to gaming industry leaders. Satisfied that they had a nice piece of footage illustrating the spirit of community inherent in podcasting, the crew offhandedly asked how many people visit her site, and were stunned when she said over 13 million per month! You just never can tell the power of paying it forward!
