Happy day has come! The Pennhurst Project Web site is launched at last! There are a couple of bugs to work out yet but the bones of the site are up and running. It's much different than I envisioned—I had to simplify things in order to meet my thesis deadline. Please feel free to check it out and give me your feedback: http://pennhurstproject.com. Let me know what you think of the video snippets as they will form the basis for the longer documentary.

The great news is that now I will graduate on time. My advisor, Rodney Whittenberg, will be showing the trailer at the indie film night at Bryn Mawr Theater on Monday May 3 at 8 p.m. I can't wait to see it on the big screen (and hopefully not be shot down by bad jump cuts or the like!). There's still a lot of work to be done. The sound, especially Roland Johnson's audio interviews, needs work and music has to be added. And we need to shoot way more b-roll. But now the editing is going much faster and things are starting to fall into place.
