“Some of our folks can be a bit skeptical whenever writers come around because they have been burned in the past, but I think you may have single-handedly restored their confidence!”

- Susan Whaley, Peregrine Fund

More than 30 films from around the world that celebrate the human spirit, champion humanitarianism, and explore different spiritual traditions, will be featured at the 4th Annual Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival, Sept. 19-21 in Sun Valley and Hailey, Idaho.

The film fest is not religious gathering, although spiritual beliefs from around the world are explored through the films. It’s more about strength of character, celebrating the human spirit, and exploring the ways in which we humans all “rise to the occasion” as we tackle life. Humorous, touching, inspirational films and thought provoking speakers will fill the weekend. For more information go to www.svspiritualfilmfestival.org.

Last month, Murphy Media Services was picked to provide media outreach and promotion for the National Diving Dog Tour presented by Oust® and Purina®. Most people have seen this event as part of the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge, produced by Carson International, Inc. It’s where dogs race down a 40-foot platform and dive as far as they can into a 20,000 gallon pool. The dog that dives the farthest wins. Lots of barking and splashing and cool dog entertainment. It’s just dog-gone fun. Our job was to get media in the tour sites - New Jersey, Wisconsin, California, Tennessee, and Georgia - to cover the event. For this project, we teamed up with another great Boise marketing firm, FusionSet, Inc. Media coverage in each market was exceptional. Check out this example in this Diving Dog Video produced by WMYX in Milwaukee.
