I have always been a filmmaker at heart. Even when I was a kid anytime I could do a school project video, I did. My brother, Jeff, and I would make hilarious films, which I wish I could find and convert them for all to see.

Jeff and I have always talked about filming a documentary, but never had the equipment or the idea of what to do, well now we do! We have come up with the idea to film a historical documentary over the town we grew up in, Summertown, TN. It has history that many living there do not know about. Many would be surprised to find out that Summertown actually used to be a vacation spot with a hotel!

We will be working with the residents in Summertown to spread the word about this documentary and collect as much historical information as possible. We are looking for stories, photos and documents from the history of Summertown. We will be setting up a web site so residents can upload scanned photos, documents and stories. We will also be holding a couple of meetings in Summertown so people can have their historical items scanned and preserved.

We are in the “pre-production” phase now…. Stay tuned for updates!
