Production news: “No Dinosaurs in Heaven”
Jezebel Productions is currently in production on its latest doc, “No Dinosaurs in Heaven,” a lively, enlightening examination of the ongoing battle for America’s scientific soul. The film exposes the subtle, insidious ways in which science education is being hijacked by creationists.
We need your help to complete one more shoot for the film. Each July, 24 rafters wind their way down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, participants in a “two-theory” Creation/Evolution excursion hosted by the National Center for Science Education. (See this feature from The New York Times). Director Greta Schiller will be on this year’s trip to chronicle the adventure.
With the generous financial support of individual donors and a small grant from the Suffolk County Film Commission, we have completed filming the majority of principle interviews and are now trying to raise $20,000 to cover the costs associated with the Grand Canyon shoot, moving us toward final completion of the film later this year.
You can use your credit card to support us with a tax-deductible donation or send a check payable to Jezebel Productions to P.O. Box 1348, New York, NY 10011. Thank you!
The city of Hamburg, Germany paid special tribute to Greta Schiller, calling her “one of the most important filmmakers of independent queer cinema”. They hosted a retrospective of her films in 2007, the centennial anniversary of the meeting of Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein, author of “A Rose is a Rose is a Rose”.
