COMING IN EARLY 2009
A feature-length documentary from an award-winning director, writer, and crew: ON THE LAKE: Life and Love in a Distant Place, about the sanatorium era in the treatment of tuberculosis,
which for many years was the number-one killer in America and much of the world. This is a story that had never been told, on film, like this.

ON THE LAKE is set in Denver, Colorado; Saranac Lake, New York; and Pascoag, Rhode Island, at Zambarano Hospital, which opened in 1905 as the Rhode Island State Sanatorium. Additional shooting in
Baltimore, North Carolina and Massachusetts. The film features first-hand accounts, never-before-seen vintage footage, letters, and one-of-a-kind stills from an archive that has grown to well over
1,000 photographs. David Bettencourt, whose last feature was YOU MUST BE THIS TALL: The Story of Rocky Point Park, is at the helm. I am writing and producing, and most of the Rocky Point crew is along as well. Shooting began on November 12, 2007, with post-production underway in May 2008. Our trailer will be online by the end of the month, check back here for details.
