Andrus, the Man, the Mind & the Magic has been making its way to festivals around the country after its completion in fall 2008. After a solid edit by filmmaker Robert McNeary, it was broadcast on OPB’s Oregon Lens series on August 20 and August 23. To find out more about the program, read more here.

This documentary about the lives of the settlers in the Upper Missouri Breaks country and their descendants was broadcast on Montana Public Broadcasting in May and June of this year. It is now in the PBS catalog and will hopefully get picked up by other states in the near future. I’ll keep everyone informed on when and where it will be broadcast.

AP’s collaboration with Digital Wave on the BLM documentary wrapped up at the end of October. The documentary features beautiful cinematography of the Missouri Breaks region of the country along with the stories of the area’s original homesteaders and their descendants. We’ll have some pieces of the documentary up on the website soon.

Thanks to everyone that came out to see, Andrus, the Man, the Mind & the Magic on Friday, October 24th at the Hollywood Theater. We had a great turnout and it was a fun night. If you didn’t make it, you can watch a few clips from the documentary on our FEATURED PROJECT page. DVD’s are also available on the Skeptical Media website.

In May, the POW Film Festival makes a return after a five year hiatus. The producers of the festival, Sour Apple Productions, asked us to collaborate with In the Can Productions to create the bumper for this year’s festival, which you can view on the POW Film Festival website.
