February 2022 Film Update

Patrick Scully being interviewed on the red carpet at the TCFF 2021.

February brrrrr, so close to spring but it feels so far too. How are you staying warm? One day we are in the 30's then we plunge down to negative temps. I hope some of you have been able to go to the tropics and get a lil' sunburn. I know I did! My partner makes me. What's the update on the next film about Patrick Scully? We continue to move forward. Our editor Skip Davis and have a plan to edit next week. I'm also meeting with our directory of photography Greg Winter about an upcoming shoot of B roll images. Also, I feel a need to hire an assistant for this project, I need help in the office! If anyone knows of a young filmmaker or someone that would like to intern on this documentary, pls send me a DM.

KFAI's MinneCulture · Patrick Scully Brings Walt Whitman Out Into the 21st Century

Above, I want to share a great 7 minute radio piece made by Cyn Collins of Minneapolis KFAI community radio. In her story, Collins reports on the motivations of Patrick and why he chose Walt Whitman as a subject, she also delves in the premiere of the film at the Twin City Film Fest. It's a nice work of journalism, I hope you check it out. Below are some candids from the in-studio interview. Thanks Cyn and all the journalists that covered us last fall!

For our fall 2021 fundraiser we set our sights high, We hoped to raise $65,000 to fully fund the two films. We didn't get there but we raised $14,000 in Sept 2021 to January 2022.
