The one hour doc on the French & Indian War we just finished at Mountain Lake PBS has been offered to the PBS system by American Public Television one of the three major distributors to the PBS system (who, by the way, have the best guide to the tech side of producing for PBS that I’ve found anywhere.)

We’ve nearly finished the huge website that is full of essays, lesson plans and images from the amazing re-enactments that we were privileged enough to shoot. We’ve still got to post all the video extras and shorts to finish the site before the broadcast premiere. We wont know till next week how many stations want to carry the program… a lot of anxious waiting to hear the number. Finally, today we learned that our super-talented illustrator Ryan Graber has launched a new site with a bunch of images from the film. Check him out here.
