Done! Documentary Film on Frances Glessner Lee & The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death


We finished it. It's done. It's complete. After almost a decade of trying to get funding for this documentary film, but coming up short, we wrapped the edit on our own. 

After our screening of the fine cut at the Smithsonian in 2018, I thought we might be done. Most indie filmmakers don't even dream of having one of their films screen to a standing-room-only crowd at such a prestigious institution. It was such a wonderful experience and at the time I thought, this is enough for me. 

But it's hard to leave things unfinished. So we continued. COVID got in the way. We continued some more. And then we interviewed two more people for the film and then it felt as complete as we could get it (without funding), so we reworked the edit and now it's ready for the world!
