Documentary - No Bridge Too Far

[Walt's Daughter]

Just sent an via email to Saginaw Valley State University (here in Michigan), inquiring if it would be possible to gather volunteers from their theatre department for voice-overs for the documentary. Thought this would be a great idea, for am not making progress elsewhere. In fact, may have to fire two friends who are not panning out. Wrote to them again last week, after they assured and promised me it would be NO problem to get the scripts to me within a couple of weeks. I even told them I was applying for a grant mid-month, and had to submit a copy of the documentary in progress.

 

...Well a couple of weeks has gone by, and they have not even responded to my last email. Sigh! So may wind up having to replace them with FRESH MEAT! Great, for that just adds to my production time...

 

 

Let's hope this pans out. Wish me luck!

Dear Steven:

 

I am writing and producing a documentary, No Bridge Too Far, which is dedicated to my late father, and his fellow WWII combat engineers. Upon completion, will be selling copies via my website, and also submitting to PBS for possible airing.

 

My funding is very-limited, so have been relying greatly on volunteers to help me complete the several-hour series. And that brings me around as to why I am contacting you this morning...

 

The production is greatly influenced by Ken Burn's, The Civil War series, and as he did, am using "actors" to play the roles of the various combat engineers, etc. While I have several volunteers, including family and friends, I am in dire need of many more. So this morning came up with the brilliant idea (that's left to be seen ha-ha!) of contacting local university theater departments, to see if it would be feasible to extract some budding actors!

 

I would email scripts as they become available to any volunteers, and am asking them to return completed works via mp3 or wav files.

 

If you are interested in finding out more...

I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for your time.

 

Kind regards,
