Minnesota History Center, Washington County Historical Society and the Legacy Funds application

We are working with the Minnesota Historical Society and Washington County Historical Society to obtain a Legacy Grant to cover post production costs of "She Who Would Giants Fight."  Thanks to Dave Kelliher at the History Center and to Brent Peterson, Executive Director at the Washington County Historical Society, for helping us to obtain funding to make sure the final film will be the highest quality possible.

We will keep everyone posted of our progress.

Thanks to Ruth Usem for hosting a preview showing of the third rough cut

On Tuesday, August 30th we showed the rough cut of "She Who Would Giants Fight" to a group of about 12 people, including Margaret and Dave Kelliher, Erin Murphy, Harriet Lansing and Alan Kline, Carol Connolly, Grace Harkness, DeeDee Wolfson and others.  Ruth Usem hosted the very successful event.  We received a lot of great feedback on the film and suggestions as to possible fundraising efforts and sponsorships.  We will be pursuing these suggestions during the next few months as well as working on another cut of the film based on the critiques.

Thanks so much to Ruth Usem and everyone who participated in our showing.
