History

Molly Jacobs, a humble plumber's daughter from a little town in Colorado, attempted directing at the ripe age of seven. It was recess at school and her unwitting friends were the actors. Unfortunately, the production went bust due to everyone wanting to play soccer instead. So Molly ditched the recess crowd and decided to focus on writing. At the University of Colorado in Boulder, she shot a short horror film instead of a boring, old news story for her journalism class and she still got her diploma! So that's something. Then Molly moved to L.A., where she worked as a production assistant at 20th Century Fox and volunteered at the WGA West. That's when she decided to scrape some money together and hire some actors (They did not want to go play soccer instead) to make a little indie feature called: BEING AN ADULT SUCKS. It's free on Youtube. Unsatisfied with the lack of views, Molly decided to try harder and wrote, directed and produced her award winning film: THE TALE OF A CORPORATE SLAVE. It won the People's Choice Award at the World Film Fair Festival in Los Angeles, Best American Film at the Eurovision Palermo Film Festival, Best Feature at Cinema NY Film Festival, Best Supporting Actress for Barika A. Croom at WICA and Best Supporting Actress for Pam Renall at the Los Angeles Film Awards. When Molly isn't writing, she's feeding stray cats, hiking the Rocky Mountains, donating to the Eden Reforestation Project and playing video games. (January 27th, 2022)

The Rise & Fall of Penn Station

The Rise & Fall of Penn Station

Producer

In 1910, the Pennsylvania Railroad successfully accomplished the enormous engineering feat of building tunnels under New York City's Hudson and East Rivers, connecting the railroad to New York and New England, knitting together the entire eastern half of the United States. The tunnels terminated in what was one of the greatest architectural achievements of its time, Pennsylvania Station. Penn Station covered nearly eight acres, extended two city blocks, and housed one of the largest public spaces in the world. But just 53 years after the station’s opening, the monumental building that was supposed to last forever, to herald and represent the American Empire, was slated to be destroyed.

Surviving the Dust Bowl

Surviving the Dust Bowl

Associate Producer

In 1931 the rains stopped and the "black blizzards" began. Powerful dust storms carrying millions of tons of stinging, blinding black dirt swept across the Southern Plains--the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, western Kansas, and the eastern portions of Colorado and New Mexico. Topsoil that had taken a thousand years per inch to build suddenly blew away in only minutes. One journalist traveling through the devastated region dubbed it the "Dust Bowl." This American Experience film presents the remarkable story of the determined people who clung to their homes and way of life, enduring drought, dust, disease--even death--for nearly a decade. Less well-known than those who sought refuge in California, typified by the Joad family in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," the Dust Bowlers who stayed overcame an almost unbelievable series of calamities and disasters.
