Our first “Letters To Defiance” is on my wife's Uncle's experience in WWII. The film showed at a handful of festivals and has recently played on PBS in Ohio and won 2 Telly Awards. The response from audiences encouraged us to create the In Times of War Documentary Project (www.intimesofwar.us)
Over the past 12 years we have recorded 20 stories in our spare time. Our second Documentary “In Times of War: Ray Parker” premiered in March of 2007. Of the 10 festivals where we were in competition, we won 8, including an Audience Choice Award from the Sedona International Film Festival!
Our third film "Wings of Silver: The Vi Cowden Story" has done better than we could ever imagine. 12 Festival Awards, 5 of them the most coveted Audience Choice Award!
In total the project has won 24 Awards to date.
Our hope is to continue to capture these stories before they are lost forever.
