A few quick updates as we speed through summer like a rocket. It’s almost August. That’s a lot to swallow. Our most recent documentary in the RealLab family, KEEPER OF THE MOUNTAINS was Kickstarted by dear friends and fans of Miss Hawley. Shooting begins in Colorado this week under the watchful eye of Director Allison Otto. A few of our interviews include climber Jake Norton (who wrote this great post about Miss Hawley and our doc) and Polar Explorer Eric Larsen (which you have to write with capitol letters like it’s all his name). In addition we have the wonderful opportunity to spend time with Miss Hawley’s family and review her personal letter collections. Going hand in hand with archives, we’ll be visiting the American Alpine Club Library and meeting the wonderful Beth Heller.
A side project for release in late November, is a travel E-book collecting personal stories of adventure from a group of 18 people who you haven’t met yet– but soon will. We’re calling it Travels of the Lesser Knowns. Travel can be defined by a broad spectrum full of individual meaning. You may want to call it seeking. The goal of our authors is to submit a journey that has more to do with a personal journey. This is why you’ll find stories written by professional sailors having to do with an ill-fated car trip; and a winner of Parks Canada’s Greatest Summer Job who decides to walk across Winnipeg until he tires. Our digital document promises to be full of glorious color and personal photos– a nice benefit of publishing digitally. RealLab’s mission is through all digital media to convey personal stories.
We look forward to wowing you with these projects about people who love travel.
Until then,
Carole
