SHORT DOCUMENTARY

Directed, produced, and edited this video for Heritage Auctions to promote the life, legacy and estate of William Goldman — which included typescript copies of screenplays and novels housed in custom clamshells kept on the shelves of his Manhattan home, his copies of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’s final script, a revised final draft for The Princess Bride and the first draft of his beloved A Bridge Too Far adaptation.

After owning an iconic and highly important Norman Rockwell painting for close to 50 years, the E.M. Connor Post 193 American Legion of Winchendon in Massachusetts decided to consign at Heritage Auctions. Due to declining membership and the need for major improvements to the Post, the time has come to sell "Home for Thanksgiving" -- a gut-wrenching but necessary decision. The Post building is not only a home for Veterans, Sons of the Legion and Auxiliary, it is widely used by the various organizations within the Winchendon community.Directed, produced, and edited for Heritage Auctions.
