SNEAK PREVIEW AT AAUW and NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ON FILM

On February 20, 2013 I showed "Girl from Birch Creek" to the St. Paul chapter of the American Association of University Women.  It was a large group and they really enjoyed the film.  I thank them for inviting me and for the lovely lunch.

Below is an article written about our film which came out shortly before our first sneak preview:

STANDING OVATIONS FOR "GIRL FROM BIRCH CREEK"

In November and December we held two sneak previews for "Girl from Birch Creek."  We received standing ovations at each showing.  Our first showing was at Marcus Theaters in Oakdale.  Over 500 people attended; we gave short speeches and served appetizers and popcorn, of course.  The film was extremely well received and comments were wonderful!!!  The second showing was at William Mitchell College of Law and we were so happy that Justice Rosalie Wahl and family members were able to attend.

Victory!!!!

Justice Rosalie Wahl cheered by audience

In January, we showed the film to a gathering of Minnesota Women Lawyers and students from William Mitchell College of Law.  The response was wonderful, and the panel of women judges and lawyers moderated by Lori Sturdevant shared many insights and great stories about women's struggle for equality in the judicial system.

Nina Totenberg Narrates "Girl from Birch Creek"!

Several weeks ago we recorded the narration for '"Girl from Birch Creek."  We were thrilled that Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio agreed to read the narration; and she did a wonderful job, breathing even more energy into the documentary.  Thank you, Nina Totenberg, for doing such a great job.

Appearance on "One & the Same"

On May 25, 2012 John and I were guests on the cable show "One & the Same" hosted by Judge Judith Tilsen.  During the hour long show we talked about various aspects of producing "Girl from Birch Creek" and told the story of Rosalie Wahl and the women's movement that made her appointment to the Minnesota Supreme Court possible.

The program will air at various times throughout Ramsey, Washington and Dakota counties.  Hope everyone gets a chance to see it.

Publicity for "Girl from Birch Creek"

In March I was featured in an article which appeared both in the Marine on St. Croix Country Messenger and the St. Croix Valley Press.  The article mentions "Girl From Birch Creek" as the current project I am working on.

Searching for a Narrator

We are in the process of scouting for voiceover talent and have sent our final rough cut script to several actors and voiceover talent to determine their interest and needs with regard to doing the narration for the film.  We will keep you updated on developments.

Matt Ehling of ETS Pictures has joined our team!

We're proud to announce that Matt Ehling of ETS Pictures will be the on line editor for "Girl from Birch Creek" and will assist us in several aspects of post production on the film.  Matt comes highly recommended and I worked with him several years ago during production of my short narrative film, "The Egg Timer."

We have already had an excellent editing session with Matt and he has come up with fantastic suggestions for the final on line edit.  We are certain Matt will be a tremendous addition to our team!
