Bring On the Story Consultant!
Our team continues to film interviews for the archives at the Ukrainian Museum Archives, Cleveland, Ohio. However, we know that sharing these experiences with a broader audience will be better achieved through film and digital media projects. After searching, we jumped in to working with Karen Everett of New Doc Editing. Karen was an instructor at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, which has a well-regarded documentary program, so it was a natural fit for our Director, Matej Silecky. Karen's fresh perspective and spot-on scheduling is a great asset to Baba Babee Skazala!
Filming in Los Angeles, CA
I traveled from Berkeley, CA to Los Angeles, CA, where Evan Yee & I worked with some great friends to film interviews & events at the Ukrainian Culture Center in Los Angeles. A Huge thank you to the Chaikovskys for their support & assistance in all the arrangements for this trip. Without them, it would not have been the success it was!
