Frances Glessner Lee documentary update

We're  back in the audio suite again - recording with our new scratch narrator for our documentary film on Frances Glessner Lee - Murder in a Nutshell.

It's always fun to hear my words come alive with a professional narrator. We feel so lucky to be telling Frances' story. And of course, the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death are endlessly fascinating.

Back in the edit suite for Frances Glessner Lee documentary!

Our home away from home. Back in the edit suite this week for more and more re-edits on our documentary on Frances Glessner Lee. We've got new scratch narration, new graphics, new music, a new Nutshell scene and yet we've only managed to trim five minutes worth of fat. But we're getting there!

For those of you who know the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death - this one may throw you. We (the filmmakers) didn't know it existed for many years. This Nutshell is featured in our forthcoming documentary film. Believe it or not, there's is a doll corpse in this one. Any guesses to where it is?

2014 The Year of Frances Glessner Lee

Happy New Year!! Thanks for all the support you've given us over the past year. We sincerely appreciate it. 

We are very excited for 2014. Why? Because we will wrap our documentary film on Frances Glessner Lee and finish our rewrites for our feature screenplay about her.  Exciting stuff! If you are thinking you already know Frances' story - you may be surprised by what we've uncovered. 

You might also think that after making Of Dolls & Murder we would be tired of all of this and ready to move on, but truly her story is well worth further exploration. 

So here's to a great year! 2014 - the Year of Frances Glessner Lee!
