Pre-video Assignment, CJ Hancock

I think this project does a good job of explaining who Thom deVita is without explicitly telling you who he is if that makes sense. I think all of the footage has been carefully selected to tell a story and I like that.

I don't want to be overly critical of this project because I think it is a cool story but where the documentary on Thom de Vita used film to tell the story, here the filmmaker has told Yoddecha Sityodtong's story almost entirely through dialogue. This approach is less interesting and doesn't seem as authentic. If the filmmaker had used additional interviews and had more footage it would have been more compelling.
