Dear David:
It was great speaking with you today! I do appreciate
your taking the time work with us. Per our
conversation, I spoke with my producer who provided me
with the below information. I do hope it proves to be
helpful to you.
As you well know, America does not fit one stereotype;
it is a diverse country that operates on a variety of
accepted attitudes and practices. In New York City we
see a place that embraces the hustle and bustle and
the "tell it like it is mentality." We see tight
spaces, large crowds and bright lights. In Washington,
DC, the people of this capital city abide by a strict
set of rules and regulations, serving as role models
for the rest of the world. In Dallas, we see the 'New
America,' where sophistication, patience and Southern
hospitality are a complete package. Each of the above
cities is unique in its own way, but they have one
thing in common: success.
Haverford Mills is privileged to be a part of a new
documentary style film that highlights America at its
best. It is our hope that we may capture that 'New
America' - sophistication and Southern hospitality -
in Dallas. One way of illustrating this would be to
film in a historic Dallas hotel, shooting anything
from the grandness of the hotel lobby to the
professional look and nature of an experienced service
agent.
For this project, our camera crew would be using two
unobtrusive handheld cameras, and the shoot should
take approximately 30 minutes-1 hour. Our intent is
for the film to be distributed to and seen in theaters
worldwide.
We do hope we may arrange to film with The Adolphus
Hotel, David. Please do feel free to call or e-mail me
with any questions you may have. Thank you in advance
for your consideration.
Best regards,
Jenny Hunter
