I'm very interested
in the documentary project for the Mississippi. I am a native St. Louisan
and have been in close contact with both the Missouri and Mississippi
Rivers most my life. For instance, I not only sandbagged for the 73
Flood but my family took in another family of 12 who had been flooded
out of their home/farm. They stayed with us for 6 weeks. There were
mattresses on the floor and of course never enough bathrooms.
I recently completed
my MFA at Wash U and am now teaching there. I work with glass, steel
and digital video. I recently created a video piece about the Missouri
River that is meant to draw attention to the fact that it is the most
endangered river in the country today.
Please keep me informed
of the progress of your documentary.
