Currently in narrative post-production and documentary pre-production, the narrative portion of Forgetting was shot from July 31 to August 5, 2006. The cast and crew was and is comprised of local filmmaking professionals and NKU students. Music, audio sweetening and documentary interviews that will be cut into the narrative are all that remain to accomplish. What was going to be a short project has evolved into a feature-length digital cinema endeavor.
