What we would like to make
- A documentary about Curly and Annie Neal and the hotel they built, drawn from the documents in the archive.
- Short films on single stories from the record: the mail route, the bullion runs, Christmas of 1912.
- An animated series for children aged 5 to 8, so the next generation hears these names early.
Each film will be listed here as it is finished. Join the newsletter to hear when the next one is released.
