Film Approved by Firefighters for Release

Hello, All -

The film was screened for the Providence Firefighters at the Washington Street Station on Tuesday.  It has been approved for release.  Mark Foley and I will be working on getting that done.

We will also be screening the film for members of the Providence Fire Department and their families.  Any members interested in attending can e-mail me for details.

Thank you!!

COMPLETE!

Hello, All -

Yes, I said it.  The film is finished.  I picked up the DVDs from my Producer, Mark Foley, this morning.  I just finished viewing the completed film on a television, in full resolution, for the first time.  I am stunned, excited and (frankly) in complete disbelief.  It has been a long, long road and people have been extremely patient during the wait.  I am eternally grateful for the fact that the firefighters did not lose faith in me. 

I hope to present the film to the firefighters tomorrow.  Will update once that is done.

Sorry for the lack of updates...

Hey, all -

Have been updating on Facebook and neglecting the blog.  My apologies to those not on Facebook. 

We have done a great deal of work in the last two and a half months and are very nearly at the finish line.  We are planning one more editing session, just to tie up a couple of loose ends and then should be ready to render a final "director's cut", for lack of a better term.

I am eternally grateful to so many people, but especially to my Producer, Mark Foley, my editor, Shawn Hare; my photo contributors: The Day Family (and Amanda and Brianne's wedding photographers), Joe Arsenault, Dan Rinaldi & Eric Norberg, Curt Varone, Capt. Tom Kenney and my personal photographer, Fran Paliotta; my music contributors: Fran Paliotta, Michael R. Shipp and Patrick Vitagliano and The Bones - and the men and women of the Providence Fire Department.

It has been a long, long road and we have hit so many stumbling blocks and pitfalls, but I made a promise to make this happen.  I guess I can never be accused of not being determined and tenacious.  :-)

My thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement!

With much love,

Erin

Coming Along Nicely!

Hey, folks - a quick update.  We have had a couple of editing sessions and things are coming along very nicely.  I am quite happy with the progress and very thankful to Shawn Hare, our editor and Mark Foley, our producer, for their hard work. 

We'll keep you posted!
