Editing Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story documentary


We spent a very productive session this past week working on the fine cut of Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story documentary. I love how this is coming together. 

One the left side of the monitor is the interior of the Glessner House Museum and on the right is a photo of Frances Glessner (R) with her dog and Violetta Scharff (L), Frances' paid companion. 

Someone recently asked me if the Glessner House was haunted. We filmed there twice and spent a day researching their files, so I had plenty of opportunity to be scared but nothing scary happened. The energy in the museum seemed light. 

However, many people do say it is haunted. What about you? Have you been there? Did you experience anything paranormal? 

While filming Of Dolls & Murder we did experience quite a few unexplained events, like camera and car batteries dying when they were fully charged/new. Strange. I've also had my computer battery drain on another filming project at a Polish museum.

Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story Documentary update

 

We are working hard on the fine cut edit for Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story. Currently we are re-editing the section on the unfinished Nutshells. I took this photo of one of the unfinished Nutshells at the Rocks Estate. Someone found it at antique shop and recognized that it was a Nutshell and donated it to the Rocks. Unfortunately, I do believe it burned up in the horrible fire a few years ago. Luckily we got photos and footage of it when we did. 

I just heard from my contact from the Rocks - it did not burn up! 

I wonder what Frances Glessner Lee had it store for this one? 


Reminds me of something from David Lynch
