Last night, June 10th, I had the honor of being the recipient of the Massachusetts Education Association's "Friend of Education Award" for making the documentary "Painting the Past." Here I am pictured with my mom, Peggy Call-Conley, after the ceremony. And I made a new hitRECord button just for the occasion.

I just re-posted a link on Vimeo to the documentary: http://vimeo.com/12398643

I'm working on bringing the concept in the film (children interpreting stories from the elderly and painting them) to a more national level, and it would really mean a lot to me for everyone here to check out the documentary and share their reactions to it.

Thanks for all your support, guys! <3

And yes, that is indeed a 1940's hairstyle I'm sporting in this photo op.

Thanks Matt not only for sharing your pride and joy for receiving a very much deserved accolade, but for also sharing the wonderful documentary you made. This is truly arts and education at it's finest. What the project has done for the residents of the home and the students is immeasurable. It's great to hear about the success of the documentary and that it is now part of the D.C's school curriculum! How fantastic! I hope the concept not only spreads across the US, but around the world as well. When I have the opportunity, I'll pass this on to my friends in the education sector here in Aus (if you don't mind of coz?).
