Over 20 years ago, a filmmaker named Kevin Downs began a documentary about Danny Heater. Life, as it does so often, got in the way and the film was never completed. I was asked by Kevin this summer if I wanted to finish the documentary and I jumped at the chance. 

It is the story of a record that is 55 years old and counting. It's Danny Heater's story.   It's also the story of West Virginia and life in small towns created out of coal camps in America after World War II. It's about life before consolidation and the dreams of making it out of those small towns and the reality of how far we can go.

I started out as a filmmaker but became a teacher. In order to get the ball rolling again on this great story, I need to get some basic equipment. Please contribute to this first phase of production. Any and all contributions will go directly to equipment, which will be donated to a local high school at this end of filming to create a film making class.
