Raina Bauman: Harley Man
Father and Son
Twenty years since “Rain Man” won four Oscars, the film is still impacting young and old. Recently, an event at the Salt Lake City Main Library proved that. In early 2009, film fans filled the theater to see the real ‘Rain Man’ Kim Peek, his father Fran, and ‘Rain Man’ screenwriter Barry Morrow celebrate 20 years of the ‘Rain Man’ and increased awareness of autism and other disabilities, mental and physical. The event was hosted by Stephen Carnegie, art savant and owner of Carnegie Entertainment.
A beautiful and inspiring event, the Rain Man 20th Anniversary celebration was designed to bring awareness back to mental illness as well as to let the audience and the world know how much individuals with mental and physical disabilities can do with their unique sensibilities. Kim Peek summed up the evening by saying,”Learning to recognize and respect differences in others and treat them as much as you want them to treat you will make this a better world to live in… You don’t have to be handicapped to be different. Everybody’s different.”
Dogs of Eden
Outpost Worldwide in Kansas City recently teamed up with Telemark Pictures to create a promotional trailer for “Dogs of Eden”, a pre-civil war story about frontier hardships, survival, courage, and cultural confrontation in Territorial Kansas. The trailer is part of a promotional package for the feature film which is in development. Telemark Pictures is a filmmaking group located in the sprawling prairie village of Topeka, Kansas. Our goal is to develop filmmaking in Kansas and the Midwest. Telemark recently created Through Martha’s Eyes, the story of Martha, a young African American woman sold into slavery in 1856 to work and live at an Indian Mission School in what is now Kansas.
