I've long admired the writing and storytelling in The Bitter Southerner, so I'm thrilled that they are a distribution partner for my short documentary film, For Memories' Sake, made several years ago but never distributed online till now.
I'm honored to be included in their latest issue, alongside an interview about the making of the film and highlighting some wonderful new photographs from Angela Singer, my grandmother extraordinaire.
I was asked to contribute the first in a series of articles to continue a conversation begun in the February 2018 issue of The Public Historian with the roundtable “Responding Rapidly to Our Communities.”
Hardly a day goes by when I don't think about the tragedies that have impacted me as an individual and a filmmaker/librarian...I hope the lessons I've learned and shared will be helpful to others in the field and look forward to the discussion on the blog!
