Hi Steve: I want to use your synopsis for our TC Human Rights Commission FB. Can you write me something today or tomorrow? On the "Amanda" film. Thanks...

AMANDA! Always engaging, always precious, and always oh-so-positive. Thank you, Steve Morris, for sharing lives that represent the diversity of ALL our citizens of Traverse City.

The background story of this film involves the fact that it was done during TC's comedy film festival. With my camera following Amanda around, there were many who thought she was a celebrity. Everywhere we went, people were wondering who she was. She was even asked for her autograph. When she wanted to crown her day with a well made cigar, her fellow visitors in the smoking room of the cigar store were so impressed with her sports' knowledge and demeanor, she was invited to their deer camp for the following season. Go figure. But, given her charismatic self, it shouldn't take much figuring. S.M.

Steve Morris has done it again! Wow. Thank you for introducing our community to a member we might not have known so intimately...if not for her trust in you, Steve. Amanda is one of those magical spirits and your camera work/editing, etc. allowed her to emerge unfettered. Thank you Steve, Amanda and UpNorthMedia. xx Susan
