We recently joined constant contact so that we could build a database of people interested in getting update on the film. If you go to the contact page you can sign up and you can also send a link to a friend if you think they may be interested. Newsletters and updates will likely not be more than once a month.

I made an amazing
find on ebay after doing some research on Pamela's adoptive father, Roy Paget. He too was an artist, and I found a watercolor
painting he painted from probably the 30's or 40's. Her son David made arrangements for purchase of the painting and it is on
its way to Pamela, who is very excited about the painting. I will be happy to get a still image of the painting that I can now
put into the documentary.

Pamela visited her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in Orlando, Florida. I made the voyage
down for a couple of days to spend some time with her and also show her a cut of the film. She is very pleased with the film
and is anxious to see it when it is completed. So are we! Editing is moving along and the majority of the story is there.
We are working on getting some more images and archival footage to incorporate into the film.

Dr. Vivian Vasquez is
an educator in Maryland who is writing a book on children's literature due out later this summer. She found out about Pamela's
mural painting in East Atlanta, GA and is including a piece about Pamela. We are excited that there will also be mention of
the movie "Back to Brisbane" in her book.
The premise of the book is ways of using children's literature in combination with other
'texts' such as art as
a way of providing young children with a richer more thoughtful look at various topics and issues. The
section on Pamela will be set on power, control,and identity.

There has not been a whole lot to report. The film is still moving forward and with an office move we are trying to setup so we can finish a rough cut. This is yet another rough cut, but over period of time we feel the film is now much stronger. Our goal is to have a finished film by end of year or January that we can submit to film festivals.
If you are interested in Pamela’s artwork please email backtobrisbane@7thwavepictures.com for
