A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from a college film student named Samantha Polan. It went something like this. Hi Eric,
How are you? Wow, I must say that I love Penguins and I love your
site. My name is Samantha and I'm a film student at Florida State
University, I am coming to New York this week to do a documentary
about independent businesses owners who have found their own
niche in the retail world. I would love to interview you and learn more
about The Igloo. I am so intrigued by your business and your reasons
for starting your business. I know this is so soon, but I just found
you tonight and are very excited at the prospect of getting to meet
with you! Please get back to me as soon as possible, I will be in the
city March 11th and can come by and meet with you. Hope to hear from
you soon.Thank you, Samantha Polan. How could I say anything but yes.
Samantha and her crew of two showed up on the 11th and what was suppose to be a one afternoon shoot turned into 3 days of filming and interviewing. They even blew off their other projects to continue working on the Penguin Place story. Her idea is to make the 7 minute documentary school project and then edit a half hour film to shop around and possibly show at film festivals. So far I've not seen a frame of footage, but as this is probably a final class project it should be ready sometime in May.
