Strong Shoulders
Posted July 19th, 2007 by GretjenScribe Video Center,
This upbeat and engaging program is a collaboration between 10 local film and video makers and a surprising and dedicated cast of individuals who work in the field of AIDS/HIV healthcare and activism. The video stems from Scribe's 1995 call for local videomakers to shoot "a day in the life of" AIDS/HIV caregivers, advocates and activists, in observance of world AIDS day.

Conversations With Flower
Posted July 18th, 2007 by GretjenJulia Grayer
In "Conversations with Flower," pet therapy volunteer Jacque visits an independent living community with Flower, a loveable mutt from a local animal shelter. Richard and Hazel, together for over 50 years, Marion, lonely and sweet, and James, still hurting from his wife's recent and unexpected death, all light up when Flower arrives. But the cooing over their four-legged visitor and stories of past pets eventually subsides. What began as a simple interaction between people and dog turns into much more as the residents begin to reminisce about the best and worst times of their lives.
Julia Grayer graduated from Haverford College in 2004. In 2005 and 2006, she served as a hardworking production assistant on two independent films, Homecoming and Nail Polish.
