Client News: Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival announces film lineup

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.

Agency News: The Elegant Barn of Sun Valley

I’ve been doing a bit of writing for Sun Valley Magazine, a gorgeous, premier publication. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit and write about a stunning home in Sun Valley, Idaho, that is nicknamed  “The Elegant Barn,” for its Vermont barn sort of style, which is quite unusual for the area. The architects, Arbonies King Vlock, from Connecticut, are incredibly creative and very client-centered. It was a pleasure working with them on the story as well as their newly revamped website, for which they asked me to do some copywriting. Check out the beautiful photos of their architectural designs.

When Idaho Senator Larry Craig called a press conference in Aug. 2007 to discuss the news of his arrest in a Minneapolis airport restroom, the New York Times needed someone local, on the ground to cover the breaking news, NOW. When NYT national assignment editor Joan Nassiveria called me to see if could report on the press conference scheduled in less than 30 minutes, of course I said, “of course.” Over the next several weeks, I worked with Times writer William Yardley on getting local reaction, covering a second press conference and other follow up stories.
