while most did not " noted J.D. Whitmire, prompter
operator/assistant director. He continues, "We want to give each
individual a level of comfort whether they just need a few notes
or assistance in preparing a statement." David Iversen edited

We're going into our Spring season with lots of projects.
Our studio space is shaping up nicely and soon we'll have a
green-screen capable area to shoot in. Our post-production
and editing room are nearly complete and soon we will have our
lobby and conference room complete. It's been a long road
and lots of hard work, but we're nearing the end! Watch
this space for news of our Open House party coming soon.
Pre-production and fund-raising is still underway for Oil in
the Family, our latest doc project. Jon's been to New
Orleans again and got some more great interviews.
Moving Midway is preparing for its European release
after much critical acclaim here.
Here's hoping the Europeans take to it just as well!
