The Little Village that Could

Two years ago this week, we launched Small Town, Big Dreams on national PBS and tonight we're taking if off the air - and bringing it home to the little village that could for a screening /Q&A and DVD signing to benefit the Lake Placid Olympic Museum.

It's been an amazing journey, first as hundreds of stations picked up the program and then as the entire country embraced this little town, it's story and it's enduring legacy.

Lake Placid -- this is your story.

Thank you for letting us tell it.



Admission is free!

Tonight

7:00 PM
Lussi Ballroom

Finally!

After many days, months, years. After late nights and early mornings and more phone calls in a day than I thought was humanely possible. After over 200 hours of broadcasts in the last 6 weeks. After begging for money and the always last minute hiccups.

Last night, I finally got to watch our film aired on local PBS.

Funny thing about watching one's film on the small screen without thinking about the hundred different ways that the story might be improved - music, tempo, shot selection, content, narrative flow...you actually get to enjoy it.

And to reflect ever so briefly on the journey that brought you to that moment.

Here We Go!

Five years, hundreds, maybe thousands of hours and more ups and downs than we could possibly keep count...

In two days our film Small Town, Big Dreams: Lake Placid's Olympic Story, begins its journey on the national airwaves with the first broadcast on Mountain Lake PBS, Friday at 8pm. Just in time for the 30th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice.

And we finally find out if the dream to tell the story of how Lake Placid became a winter Olympic sports capital was worth all that work.
