Frank Welch, MEd, the instructor for the “VF441 Video Workshop,” shared the presentation with Stephen King prior to tonight’s screening. According to Welch, King wrote back after viewing the video and had very positive things to say about the presentation.

Interviews with Welch, senior NESCom leaders and participating students can be arranged upon request. Still photographs taken during the production process are also available.
