DEMO

Every media company has a demo right? Of course. Sometimes you do work that can’t always be shared but here we get to showcase some of our really fun projects. We’ve tried to include as much as possible to give you a tease, but please check out the individual project details in our work pages.

Thanks for watching and Enjoy!

WOMEN & SPIRIT: CATHOLIC SISTERS IN AMERICA

“Women & Spirit” examines Catholic sisters’ leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, including at times when women experienced few rights and also during many dramatic moments in U.S. history.  Millions of Catholics and non-Catholics alike have passed through the doors of their schools, colleges, hospitals, social service centers and other ministries. Yet, their story virtually has been untold publicly via mass media.

The documentary is an outgrowth of the touring exhibit (2009 - 2012) of the same title that traveled to nine museums, including the Smithsonian and Ellis Island, and was seen by approximately one million people. The exhibit was sponsored by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), the film’s executive producer.  LCWR is the association for approximately 1400 leaders of congregations of Catholic women religious in the United States, representing more than 80 percent of the 57,000 women religious in the nation.

IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS: LEWIS AND CLARK

The Lewis and Clark story is one of America’s great adventures. In 2002 Bob Weis and Dr. Herman J. Viola led a tour of more than 20 contemporary Americans on the most challenging portion of the Lewis and Clark trek—across the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho.

No where did Lewis and Clark and their team come closer to tragedy and death that in this section of the mountains. For this documentary noted author, historian and Lewis and Clark expert Dr. Viola led a team to remote historic sites, recalling the perils of the journey.

Writer Producer Bob Weis led a documentary team along the journey. Many areas of the mountains are so remote they can only be reached by horseback. The result is a stunning visual experience back into the landscape as it was experienced by Lewis and Clark. For history buffs, it is an exciting retelling of the challenges of the expedition and its relevance to Americans today. For people who love the outdoors it is an insider’s visit to some of the most beautiful and unspoiled sites in the American landscape.

Had the Nez Perce not provided the corps with horses and aid, they would not have survived. In fact, traveling by horseback is still the best and sometimes only way to trek through these difficult mountains. For the documentary, the entire group traveled by horseback, including all visitors, guides, and camera crew—for 9 days, often 12 hours a day.

The crew also filmed exciting behind the scenes sequences on the Nez Perce Reservation, inside Monticello, The Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

The film has been recognized for a special screening by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. It has also been exhibited in film festivals around America including the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival.
