You are speaking about filming at the Califur convention, where I had full permission to film and all of the required signs were posted.
If people's faces were filmed in background/crowd scenes (which is normal at an event where you have permission to film and signs are posted) - their faces will not be featured in a way where they would be identifiable, unless they gave consent. This has already been addressed in the Califur forums, with the concerned parties, in a positive manner, several times.
Because I am aware of the sensitive nature of how furry is often perceived, and I do not want to 'expose' people, it has also been made very clear that if anyone fears they were filmed in a background shot and does not want to be, they can easily contact me and I will be sure that they will not be shown.
There is no need or wish to include or 'expose' people who do not want to be a part of it.
You may not want anything to do with the documentary, and that's perfectly understandable. However, many furries are happy to be a part of it, and many are excited and very appreciative about it.
There are indeed people 'who only want to see the negative sides of the fandom', and I understand why you would be wary. The documentary does not focus on the extreme aspects of the fandom that could be seen as 'negative' (you know what they are, I don't need to list them). It does focus on many positive aspects that have not been shown before, and is an attempt to humanize furry culture.
