What has been the most difficult part of making Villisca?
Financing. Funding for documentaries is hard to come by. Public sources are shrinking and competition for the remaining monies is fierce. Many independent filmmakers rely on their own savings, help from family and friends, and broadcast pre-sales to complete their projects. Editing the film to a running time under two hours was also difficult. A lot of interesting material had to hit the cutting room floor.
