Today, November 10th, 2015 is the 40th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Twenty nine men lost their lives in Lake Superior. It’s a powerful story to many people including me, and I remember when Gordon Lightfoot’s haunting song came out in 1976. Our movie opens with the sinking of the ship but with a new loss included – a mysterious spaceship and its pilot.  [Read more...]

I wasn't sure how to judge how the audience was liking the movie, since I couldn't look inside the car windows without being the creepy lady! So Tim and I were thrilled and surprised at the end when everyone in the lot honked their horns. I said to Tim and the movie gang, "listen! They are honking their horns for us!" A peak moment! THANK YOU!

We saw the aurora last night in northern Door County from Hedgehog harbor, where we filmed the shipwreck dive scene. The first photo is what the camera saw, the second is my approximation of what we saw. No color visible, but motion easily seen. The tall, standing towers were the most impressive. Sadly, we did not get out the previous night, where the aurora was probably twice the magnitude. Light pollution from Escanaba, MI is prominent on the horizon.  [Read more...]

A lot of the action in The Emissary happens on a dairy farm, and I needed some extra "moos" to fill out the ambience. Lucky for me, while driving in Colorado last week I came across a herd of very vocal free-range cows. One in particular could really let out a prolonged, ab-contracting moo. No sound geek travels without a high-def, stereo audio recorder, so I whipped mine out and got what I needed. It was right next to the car and was so loud it briefly clipped the audio. For your pure enjoyment (with a little sonic sauce added for fun):  [Read more...]

I am beyond joy with excitement over the possibility that our nearby Newport State Park could, with YOUR help, acquire the coveted status as an International Dark-Sky Association Dark Sky Park--the first in Wisconsin! It is not easy to get this designation and the folks at Door Peninsula Astronomical Society have worked hard in difficult weather doing photometry to verify that the park is relatively free of light pollution.   [Read more...]
