Director Statement

For many years, I have had the great opportunity of working with students in the Oliver Springs Music Club to create short films. We typically make 1 film every couple of years, and during that time, the students learn a great deal about the filmmaking process. During production, the children have recording sessions for dialogue and singing, and get to shoot on location with a film crew. Upon completion, we release the film and the children get to see their hard work pay off.
Our latest short film is a tribute to the Indiana Jones Film Series called “Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Aztecs”, which is a tribute to the Indiana Jones film franchise, and on this project we’ve been blessed to have a cameo in our film by actress Karen Allen, who reprises her role as Marion from the Indiana Jones films. Thank you so much for taking time to watch and consider our film!
