Documentary Work

While I have only one completed short documentary and helped produce a larger version, it has served as a contribution to the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum and been aired in over 15 states as well as in Mexico and Canada. My documentary, titled Rail Mail: Tales of Railway Postal Clerks, is a short film about retired postal clerks of the mid 20th century, the difficulties of their job, interesting stories, and sadly the decommissioning of the service in the 1960s and 70s.

While my version lasts no longer than nine minutes, the larger version is a full thirty minute documentary. Though I cannot post it on here, more information regarding the whole project, an individual clerk project I also produced, and ordering information is available at http://www.eiu.edu/~eiutps/clerks/.

Below are some short pieces, some with more effort than others. Again, comments and enjoyment welcome.
