Almost a year ago to the day I was involved in shooting the short documentary film "Forgotten Prairie". Rueben Tschetter was the producer involved in all aspects of the film as we traveled to Saskatchewan to explore some ghost towns. My friends Chris and Connie were involved as well, as was a friend of theirs, Byron Robb. Initially it was thought that the film would be about the few remaining residents in these small towns. It ended up featuring me, and my documenting of these locations with my large format film camera. Chris and Connie were also featured as historians that explore and research topics like this. Here is a link to the film on YouTube, for those that might not have seen it yet.
Recently I learned that the work has been nominated for a Rosie award. This is the academy awards of the Alberta film industry, AMPIA. The Alberta Media Production Industries Association...
Rueben has been nominated for Best Screenwriter [Non-Fiction under 30 minutes] for The CACHE Project - Forgotten Prairie. The awards ceremony is coming up in Calgary in mid May. Here is a link to the AMPIA site that includes the Press Release and the list of all nominations.
