Summer Projects
Posted by cabincreekfilms

Hi All,

This has been a very busy year for us at Cabin Creek, and we are hard at work finishing up two films right now that are set to air soon. 

 

The first is a new feature-length documentary titled Woodstock: Now & Then that’ll premiere on VH-1 on August 14 and the History Channel on August 17.  We spent the better part of the last 5 months gathering stories and found that Woodstock continues to be a monumental event in peoples’ lives, from couples who met at Woodstock and now have grandkids together to the young and incredibly talented Woodstock-loving musicians who make up the Paul Green School of Rock All-Stars.  We are now in the finishing stages of the edit and are excited to have the film air almost 40 years to the day of the first Woodstock festival.  There are some wonderful surprises in the movie, including never-before-seen footage, photos, interviews, and illustrations. We’re very excited about the film and look forward to airing it in a couple of months.

 

The second is a documentary for ESPN’s 30 by 30 series that recounts the story of the New York Yankees under their passionate owner George Steinbrenner.  George Steinbrenner was a pioneering owner and businessman, changing the way the business side of baseball operated, all while maintaining a very public profile and never losing his competitive zeal.  The film highlights the unique relationship between Steinbrenner and the Yankees teams that he led up until recently, when his children took over his ownership responsibilities.  This has been a really interesting film to shoot, and we’ve gotten explore some incredible behind-the-scenes activities and learn how truly amazing George Steinbrenner is. 

 

So send us your thoughts on these films! We always want to know what you have to say, leave us comments in our Comments section. Looking forward to hearing from you!
