Praying Town
Puritan John Eliot emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1631. He preached to the Natives of Southern New England and formed several villages for his Praying Indians. Those villages were called Praying Towns. Natick was the first one. John Eliot expected to create more of them, but King Philip's War shattered his dream.

Journal of the Black Atlantic
Journal of the Black Atlantic is a short film being produced in association with Zandrak Productions, and Emerson College's Warlord Productions. It is being shot on a Red Epic camera on location in Quincy, MA on an actual battleship, the USS Salem, that is from the same time period in which the movie will take place (1940s/50s). A combination of Emerson students, along with filmmakers and actors from the Boston area, will be collaborating to make this film a success. Since this is a period piece, and most of the film takes place in the flashback, we need to do extensive costume design work to make this film as realistic as possible. Not only do we need to recreate Marine uniforms, but we have to recreate Marine uniforms from the 1940s/50s. Materials for this can get quite expensive, so we need help raising that money. We also have the amazing opportunity to shoot aboard an actual battleship. However, this also comes at a price. With your help, we can make this film one of the most realistic and professional products to come out of Emerson College. Thank you! http://rkthb.co/6561

Red Remembers: Memories of a Decorated WWII Air Force Veteran
An 11-part interview with World War II Army Air Force veteran Clarence 'Red' Eudaily---Flight Engineer on a B-24 Liberator bomber of the 15th Air Force (464th Bomb Group), who with my father received the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in action one day in August 1944. How did these particular 10 young men learn to fly their aircraft, and learn to survive the harrowing every-day missions that defeated Hitler's Germany? Red as an eloquent 97-year-old eyewitness takes us from his Midwestern boyhood during the Depression through Air Force training, their first combat missions together, and through the losses of so many courageous friends (including the day he shot down a German fighter)---with vivid detail, caring memory, wry humor and great humility.
