Our short film about Art Seaman, “Skating The Pacific To Europe,” took home the “Best Collaboration” award last night at the Riverview Theater and we were one of the five award-winning films (out of seventy-three submissions) from the 2007 MNHS MGG Moving Pictures Festival!
I seriously don’t know how the judges made their decisions with such a high caliber of movies submitted this year but we are honored to have been selected. If you weren’t able to attend the screening or awards, you can watch the five winning films online at the Minnesota Historical Society website and read the special edition of “Legacy News” for further details.
Follow our progress or even support our efforts with the longer-form documentary about speed skating history and legends at the official site: http://www.skatingcapitaloftheworld.com/

You are invited to the Minnesota History Center on October 8th 2006 for the MN Greatest Generation Project documentary film screenings. My latest film, "Karole Farley: All That Freedom" will be shown at 1:00pm and is eligible for a $5000 prize! This short film is a peek into the sometimes challenging, sometimes glamorous life of Minneapolis chanteuse Karole Farley who was a jazz singer in the early 40's. This 10-minute film was jointly produced with M. Rita Nagan and we'd really love you to see our hard work!
