After the success of this event, LongShot and BBT continued on to Jindrichuv Hradec in The Czech Republic. Here, under the guidance of museum curator Vladislav Burian and members of the Czech Army their lenses found crash sites and interviews to support a second film on one of the last B-24 missions of WWII. This project is currently in post production and expected to be released during the 2008 calendar year.

The Terrible Meek– a one-hour dramatic narrative on the ethics of war is in final post-production for sound, music and color correction – it will be available for syndication just after the first of the year. Air dates, as they are scheduled will be listed here on the BBTFilms website.

In Focus: The Hollywood Lens of Murray Garrett - a look at the life and work of the man who added the original flashbulbs of glamour to the image of Hollywood during the industry's Golden Age - Murray Garrett.
