Frances Glessner Lee Documentary Film June 2021 Update

 


I'm happy you care enough about Frances Glessner Lee to check in and see how the documentary film - a follow up to Of Dolls & Murder - is going! Thank you.

As a recap: we tried for years and years to get funding for this documentary but no foundation nor film funding organization would help. We went the traditional and non-traditional routes but still no luck.

As much as people say the support female filmmakers and stories about women in science, something doesn't add up.

Still, we persevere. I fit in re-edits whenever I can. Funding would make this film amazing but for now, I'm just doing everything in my power to keep Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story alive. Frances deserves at least that much. 😉

I find some unexpected moments of sheer joy and wonderment as I go about re-editing. I'm glad we didn't give up on this film project. I almost did, but filmmaker Matt Ehling said, "C'mon it's all there. We just need to tease it out more." And so we are. 

Wish me luck and keep the questions coming!
