Wow, I'm looking forward to watching the final product. I did a good amount of research on illegal gambling in Hot Springs not long ago for my master's thesis. Some really unbelievable stuff happened in Hot Springs' hayday. The town could have been the next Las Vegas had gambling been legalized in the early 1960s.

As you do your research, be prepared to hit some brick walls when talking to people who lived through that period. Even in the late stages of life, the small number remaining will probably find it easier to forget rather than to confront the skeletons hiding in their closets.

Best of luck.

Thanks, Mike! Your project is a huge inspiration to the way we'll be making and promoting this - blogging, video clips, vlogs. Project Pedal is one of the best done documentary projects on the web. I can't wait to see the finished film!

If I had cash to fund a film, it would be all yours.

Hey, thanks you guys. i can't wait to get back to Arkansas and do more filming. It's been a really good but emotionally difficult process so far. My mom is amazing though, and she is really glad this is happening.

Audrey, I think it's fabulous that you've taken on this tragic personal story. The trailer has me intrigued and wanting more. I hope the project also brings healing to your family.
