• 6-22-19 New Southern Films' Polly Schattel is on the Board at Girls Rock AVL, and the big showcase was held this Saturday at Salvage Station in AVL. It was not only a fantastic, sold-out show, the house was rocked by girls from ages 8 to 13 giving it their all. Polly is making a mini-documentary about the week and the show itself, to raise funds for Girls Rock AVL 2020. It's gonna be fantastic.

• 2-11-19 New Southern Films has been busy working with SWANA, or the Solid Waste Association of North America. They're a big company out of Washington D.C., primarily concerned with innovation and sustainable waste practices. It's a terrific example of working long distance; they send files to us over Dropbox, and we edit and upload in near-real time. It's a new day for video and multimedia production.
