A very successful first week of filming in the UO Archives (Pearl Hall Collection); at OSU where we filmed Daly scholarship students and others; and in Lakeview where we filmed high school seniors who have applied for the scholarship and community members, including Ellie Barry and Kit Collins — they’re great, an absolute highlight. One of my favorite moments was when Ellie turned to Kit and said, “We used to walk every day and solve all the world’s problems. Then we stopped walking; maybe that’s why there’s so many problems now.” You’ll have to wait for the film to hear what else they had to say…
We’re off to a great start. We’ll be back in Lakeview in late June to film the Daly trustee’s meeting and follow up with the high school students who will learn if they receive the scholarship. Then the hard and slow work of postproduction where much of the magic happens. We still need help to assure that we have sufficient funds for high quality postproduction that will result in a high quality film. Be a part of the growing group of supporters that are bringing the story of Bernard Daly and his scholarship to a national audience.
