In Production

We are currently working with the American Sign Museum on a series of short documentaries known as pods. These detail the multi million dollar move into their new facility in Camp Washington. We began shooting these Pods in March of 2009 as they began their first phase of construction. They are currently are beginning their third phase of construction and are preparing to open their doors sometime in 2010.

These Pods have been featured on the American Sign Museum website. We have been mentioned in the American Sign Museum newsletter and twitter page.

When we finish completing the Pods, we will compile our footage with an additional interview to be presented in a half hour documentary. We look forward to working with the American Sign Museum again in the future.

                           The American Sign Museum, a not-for-profit 501(C) (3) corporation, was founded by Tod Swormstedt, former editor and publisher of Signs of the Times magazine, as his self-proclaimed mid-life crisis project. It began as an idea, with no collection. With the initial support of ST Media Group, publishers of Signs of the Times, and the Museum’s Board of Trustees, it began to take shape.  Support across the sign industry continued to expand, allowing the Museum to open its doors in Spring, 2005. It has grown to boast a collection of more than 3,800 cataloged objects, with new acquisitions arriving all the time.

Rabbit Hash, KY

March 25, 2007, There is always one day in March when the weather breaks and it feels like spring. Lucky for us, that day we shot in Rabbit Hash, Ky.

This day was a producers dream when you just have one day of production to get all of your shots. As we began our descent towards Rabbit Hash the fog became thicker and thicker. I was overwhelmed by the beauty. I knew exactly the type of shots we needed to get. The sun had not yet broke over the hill. We quickly got some establishing shots of the store, then headed towards the hill. When the sun light just cracked over the hill, I knew we had some movie magic. The fog turned from a grey mist into a golden mist of lure and intrigue. I quickly got into the car and headed up the hill, this was our establishing shot. We were arriving to a place that stood out on it's own, a place that exists in it's own world. Zach Riggins, DP hit the note perfect with this opening shot.
