Casting Call - WWII Veterans
Collings Foundation pitching a TV Series
Some of you might remember mention of our film project titled: The Last Liberator. We had submitted the project to the National Endowment for the Humanities for a Media Makers grant. We were hoping for a little financial support to get the film project underway. Knowing that the NEH had awarded sizable grants to films that featured subjects like Annie Oakley or $250,000 to the preservation, arrangement, and description of 400 linear feet of records and the digitization of selected photographs pertaining to the Minnequa Steel Works ….we felt our chances were pretty good. Surprisingly, we found out (in a roundabout way) that the proposal was denied NEH financial support.
Well, dagnabbit, we are moving forward! The Collings Foundation is in the process of pitching The Last Liberator as part of a larger series to a couple major TV networks. We are looking for B-24 and B-17 crewmembers to participate in a series of interviews. Are you a WWII Liberator Veteran or do you know one that would make a great interview? Let us know! Please send a short biography and picture to Hunter Chaney at hchaney@collingsfoundation.org.
Hope to pitch this in June. If you are interested please send a brief email as soon as you can. ______________________________
