Happy Spring, As the season shifts toward growth and renewal, the same is true for our documentary THE LAST WITCH. We are deep in the editing process, cutting scenes and shaping a story that weaves together complex, deeply rooted themes with urgent relevance today.

What starts with over an hour of film often becomes a powerful few minutes. That is the case with the classroom moment when middle school students finally meet former Senator (now State Auditor) Diana DiZogli
