What was your first thought when you were asked to participate? Why did you say yes? What were you expecting? How was the actual experience different (if at all)? What was your favorite part of the process, what was your least favorite part? Did anything in your life change as a result? Did you expect that it would? What did you think of the final product? Have your feelings about it changed since the first time you saw it?  Were you surprised by any of what we chose to put in the movie? Did you remember saying everything you said? Did you like/dislike the way you were portrayed -- did you feel it was fair? Accurate? How would you have made the movie differently if you were making it yourself?  Has this changed the way you watch media?\n\nWhat do you think about the way homelessness is typically treated in the media? Did this seem like a different type of story?\n\nDo you have any questions for us that you never got to ask?\n\nHow are Keiosha and Deiosha? What was the experience like for them? Deiosha seemed really interested in the production side--has anything come out of that?\n\nPhoto business? Interesting thing that didn’t make it into the story--what is it, and what’s the status?\n\n
