Patrick Marshall receives development funding for new Documentary project from LEF

Congratulations are in order to our Patrick Marshall for receiving funding to develop his new documentary. We look forward to seeing it develop and shimmer on our screens some day soon!

Statement by LEF:

LEF Announces $47,500 in Early Development and Pre-Production Funding
The LEF Moving Image Fund invests in films that demonstrate excellence in technique,
strong storytelling ability, and originality of artistic vision and voice. The most recent
round of awards to New England-based documentary filmmakers includes five grants of
$2,500 to projects at the Early Development stage, and seven grants of $5,000 to
projects at the Pre-production stage.

About the film (in development):
Untitled County Fair Movie
Directed and Produced by Patrick Marshall (MA)


"A peasant becomes fond of his pig and is glad to salt
away its pork. What is significant, and is so difficult for
the urban stranger to understand, is that the two
statements in that sentence are connected by an and and
not by a but." -- John Berger
Untitled County Fair Movie is a documentary that will
show the relationship between a pig and the child (8 - 12
years old) that is raising the pig to show it at the county
fair. The movie will start around the birth of the pig and
follow the relationship between the child and the pig for
the 5-7 months until they show the pig at the fair
