Through their production company Carnivalesque Films, co-creators Ashley Sabin & David Redmon have produced two documentaries with a third fast nearing completion. Their second film Kamp Katrina found them when the flamboyant Ms. Pearl, a character from their self-distributed Mardi Gras: Made in China, an exploration of the journey of Mardi Gras beads from the factories of China to the streets of New Orleans, contacted them following the devastation of hurricane Katrina to document her attempts to bring a community of people together to rebuild the city by offering up her back yard as accommodation along with work in her husband David’s construction company. Although the couple’s generosity gives people a much needed second chance, not everyone can break away from their demons and into a brighter future. Ashley joins me to discuss the project.
