Several months ago, I got an email from Kim Waltrip<\/a>, an established and successful film producer, who wanted to talk with me about making a film length documentary based on Bernard Daly\u2019s Promise<\/em>. It was a complete out-of-the-blue surprise. I\u2019d always known that it\u2019s a compelling story and many people had told me it would make a great movie but, I never imagined it would happen \u2013 it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The book was brought to Kim\u2019s attention by Kathy (O\u2019Keeffe) Boespflug, the granddaughter of Cornelius O\u2019Keeffe, an early Lake County settler. Kim, Kathy, and I have teamed up and are now working to create a documentary, The Daly Promise<\/em>. This is all new for me, but I\u2019m thrilled that through the documentary we\u2019ll be able to share the remarkable story of Bernard Daly and his scholarship, a legacy that has transformed lives and communities for more than a century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re still early in the process, at the point where we are developing the script and seeking funding for the project from donors and investors. Independent films like The Daly Promise depend on the generosity of people who believe in the story and the power of storytelling. Hope you\u2019ll consider being a part of the project by making a donation through our GoFundMe<\/a> site, and share the link with others who may be interested. With a goal of raising $100,000, every contribution, no matter the size, is important in helping to cover costs from filming and editing to music, travel, and post-production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, for those of you who live in or near Lakeview, I hope you\u2019ll come to the Lake County Library \u201cNight at the Library\u201d (26 South G St., Lakeview) on Friday, November 14th<\/sup> at 5:30 where the producer (Kim Waltrip) and I will talk about the documentary project (Appetizers and no-host beverages provided by Friends of Lake County Library).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll update you on our progress in future blog entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
