More to come...
Equinox has completed the high definition filming of In Marjorie's Wake, a new documentary that retraces the journey of Pulitzer winning author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings on the St. Johns River. The film captures the many ways in which the river has shaped culture---literature, art and music---over time. It is being presented to a national PBS audience by the Miami PBS affiliate WPBTV in 2008.
Hear Some Music from 'In Marjorie's Wake'
If the idea of retracing Rawlings on the St. Johns whets your appetite for nature-inspired art, check out the music CD that Jennifer Chase produced for Equinox. Entitled "In Marjorie's Wake", the CD has ten songs written by Chase and performed with guitarist Goliath Flores. They range from the sublime ("Calderon" and "Lemon Bluff") to the hilarious ("Brickyard Slough"), as well as the title song "Welaka" — the name Native Americans first gave to the river itself.

In addition to documentary filming, the producers are available for public lectures and other presentations before, during and after the initial broadcasts of any film. Our public presentations usually include video taped segments of our documentaries, as well as outtake footage which helps illustrate the making of the film itself. We discuss both the environmental and cultural issues of our work, and the challenges of having to communicate them on film. Contact us for more information or to schedule an appearance.
