Our most recent work (in progress) is a video documentary, ZIGZAG TO TIMBUKTU (aka THE MYTH ABOUT TIMBUKTU). Few places in the world have an aura of mystery as startling as Timbuktu. The name is so rooted in legend that most people, especially Americans and Europeans think of Timbuktu as an imaginary place. Popular sayings such as, "I'll knock you clear to Timbuktu," imply that Timbuktu has existed more as a fantasy. One of our goals for the documentary is to explore how the moniker, "Timbuktu," might have evolved in western mythology.

ZIGZAG TO TIMBUKTU captures the mystery and majesty of this mysterious place, and gives a fascinating insight not only into legends and customs, but also into value systems and wisdoms of the secret life of Timbuktu... It is an epic tale--part history, part legend, and an interesting and salutary experience for all those people who cherish or denigrate fantasies in a self-styled world.

We are offering internships to Houston area college students (especially disadvantaged young men and women) who are interested in a career opportunity in film and/or history. Interns receive stipends, learn the basic artistic, creative and technical skills in production, as well as increase their knowledge of world history.

Another work in progress is a 90-minute narrative film. ANGELS AND IMAMS tells the story of an idealistic immigrant. 28-year-old Caramo Gibba, a devout Muslim, comes to the United States with lofty aspirations. His dreams are to earn enough capital to return to his hometown, Yamyamkunda, to open a school to teach African children about their culture and to advance the teachings of the Koran. If you are interested in knowing more about these projects, or would like to make a donation, please call 713-527-0470, or e-mail tdp@talkingdrumproductions.com..
