“Dear Pelican,” directed by John Meier, is a heartwarming and powerful Utah documentary about the Great Salt Lake. We are so pleased to share this film with you at this year’s Orem Film Festival at the Geneva Megaplex on September 23rd. Join us in auditorium 9 for a live Q&A with the filmmakers!

Dear Pelican Directed by John Meier @adventurewithjohn

Thousands of American White Pelicans were forced to abandon their nesting grounds on Gunnison Island as the receding waters of the Great Salt Lake exposed them to new dangers. Now, a group of students from Emerson Elementary is bringing their voices to the Utah State Capitol, using art to share the story of the pelicans. taken in Megaplex Theatres by @leicesterdocs

Spirituality can be found in every aspect of life, including art. 🔆

Reflections follows Allison, an art glass engineer who restores churches across Salt Lake City. Her work, and her faith, offer a window into the way we connect with the world around us.

Tonight is the night and we might just cry! Did you know that for 30 years Women Helping Women (WHW) has provided support to the community?

We are so appreciative of the crew (and Director Katie!) for spending time with us to learn about WHW and the 19,000 clients we have served over the years. Thank you @leicesterdocs for supporting student education and non-profit work in Salt Lake!

In just a couple of days a documentary that I edited will premiere at the Salt Lake City Public Library!

This documentary means whole lot to me and to our Utah community as a whole. The true measure of a society is how it treats its most vulnerable members. It would mean the world to me if you came by to view one of my best works yet!
