Just Like the Men
Writer
Just Like the Men is an original silent film written in 1914 by Ella Higginson, a novelist, poet laureate, and campaign manager for Frances Axtell. Their campaign was a success making Axtell one of the first women in Washington State to be sworn into legislative office. 100+ years later, this screwball-comedy offers a glimpse of women's first entrance into politics, just in time for the 2020 centennial of women's suffrage.

The Paper
The Paper is a documentary about The Daily Collegian, a student run newspaper at Pennsylvania State University. It looks at the challenges of modern journalism through the staff of a university newspaper. The young journalists struggle with all the problems of other regional and national newspapers: declining circulation, impediments to investigative reporting and critical response of the coverage. While at one level it portrays the challenges journalists, it's also a study of students learning the craft of journalism.
