I just finished a documentary about Coalwood, West Virginia, home town of Homer Hickam and the Rocket Boys, made famous in Homer's memoir and the movie, October Sky (1999).
My film tells the story of this interesting town from its beginnings as a company coal camp to the present day and the October Sky Festival through... the voices of those who have lived there.
I just received my first printing of DVDs and I ready to start shipping! Here's my website for the project www.CoalwoodMovie.com
and my FaceBook page for the project:

Appalshop Appalshop joins people across the nation in mourning the loss of Mike Seeger. He was a true friend of traditional musicians and a tireless advocate for their music. He often served as a resource in Appalshop's work, helping with films, radio broadcasts, recordings, and the Seedtime on the Cumberland festival. We will miss him, though thankfully he left behind a lot to remember him by.
Linda Heller Hylton Hi, Thank you for the invitation. Love Appalshop. Check me out and become a friend. I have spoken on Mountain Talk but it has been a few years. Linda
Appalshop The Appalshop Archive has organized a reunion of photographer Wendy Ewald with her former students from Campbell’s Branch School, Cowan School, and Kingdom Come one-room School. Material from the photography workshops with children during 1975 - 1980/81 was collected in the book Portraits and Dreams published in 1985. We've started a Facebook Group to help bring folks together.
This is a place where Wendy Ewald's photography students from 1975 to 1980/81 in Letcher County, Kentucky can share pictures, thoughts and plans for activities this summer and beyond.
