Manhattan, Kansas -- A Documentary
Tara Wray's MANHATTAN, KANSAS is the story of a reunion between an estranged mother and daughter. A documentary in the vein of AN AMERICAN FAMILY and GREY GARDENS, it is a sometimes painful, often humorous, account of a parent and child, of their place in the world, of how a relationship between two people can represent the bigger picture of American life. Shot among the limestone ruins of a disappearing Kansas town, the film delves into the often-complicated ways people, and families, care for one another and offers insight into the mind of a mentally-unbalanced parent struggling for physical and emotional survival, and the effects this has on her daughter.

Marilyn's Man - The Movie
"Marilyn's Man: is a 92 minute feature documentary that debunks the myths about Marilyn Monroe and her legacy. Through the eyes of Jim Dougherty, the truth about Marilyn Monroe and her early life as Norma Jeane Baker is revealed in captivating interviews with this renaissance man. Without Jim Dougherty, Marilyn Monroe would never have morphed into the icon that she became. Dougherty was her Svengali, her first lover, and her friend for life. Even though Hollywood seduced Marilyn into the world of bright lights and stardom, she still yearned for Jim, despite the veiled threat of ruining her meteoric career. But the price was steep, and she was victimized by the nefarious world of Tinsel Town. The film features numerous unseen photos and rare clips of Marilyn Monroe, integrated with mesmerizing interviews with Jim Dougherty, as well as other individuals who knew the truth about her legacy, such as LC Van Savage, Jim's biographer and co-author of his highly sought after book, To Norma Jeane With Love, Jimmie.

Melinda's World, the Movie
This Web site features the movie "Melinda's World" Melinda's world is very small. Her dour parents, members of a religious sect, forbid the celebration of birthdays or holidays. Melinda finds solace in small things: a spun silver spider web, her box of treasures, and a stolen afternoon at Silver Lake on her "day of days." As the movie and the year progresses, Melinda experiences ageless comforts and pains. A disgraced famous writer and a waylaid college professor, two exiles in the small midwestern town, haunt the edges of her sheltered life. An earthy, warmhearted waitress introduces her to the blues and a fizzy drink called Cola-Cola. She receives her first explorative attention from a boy. Escalating tragedy shatters Melinda's innocence. Devastated, she flees into the night where, by drawing on her tenacious spirit, she ultimately triumphs. The DVD of the movie is available for purchase at this Web site.
