Today, my episode of Talk of Iowa aired with Charity Nebbe about my film From Iowa and Back: The Vietnam Era the I completed with the support of Brucemore’s Artisan Studio.

Here’s the link

This morning I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Eric Hanson of 102.9 KZIA about From Iowa and Back for their Community Spotlight segment airing on Sunday morning.

Here is the interview.

Quick update to what’s been happening lately. The film is completed and we are taking it in the road. Until I can find a way to distribute it on a grand scale, I’m making the film available to any veterans organization or interested parties that would like to show the film. I want to use the film as a way to give back to the veteran community and let the, mostly, small communities hold an event to bring out the events and possibly raise some funds for their needs.

I currently have showings scheduled in Audubon, Iowa on Nov 8th, Burlington, Iowa on Nov 11th, and right here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Nov 21st. I also just wrapped up an interview with KCRG that aired and is linked below. As always, if you or someone you know is an Iowa veteran that served in any location during the Vietnam era, please reach out to include them in this project.

My documentary film, From Iowa & Back: The Vietnam Era has 3 more showings coming up in June and July around Iowa.

June 17th Riverside Casino & Golf Resort® in Riverside, Iowa will host a free showing in their event center. We had 4 of their GIVE Gulf members in the film and their support has always been appreciated.

The Grout Museum District in Waterloo, Iowa will host a free showing on June 30th at 7:00pm and I am very excited to finally visit the museum. We will also plan a Wednesday afternoon showing with their veterans group and details will follow soon.

July 8th, I will be in Des Moines, Iowa at Prairie Meadows for a free showing at 6:00pm. President and CEO Gary Palmer is one of the #IowaVeterans who participated in the film and I’m beyond excited to show him the final film.

So far the short film has been accepted into 3 film festivals and won at 2. Brucemore, Inc. Artisan Studio has been a tremendous partner in this journey and I can never thank them enough for all their help.

Riverside Casino and Golf Resort will host a showing of the feature length film From Iowa & Back – The Vietnam Era. The event center will show the film June 17th at 6:00pm with concessions available.

With the help and guidance of Brucemore’s Artisan Studio, my vision to create a lasting memorial to my father, John Glazier, and other Iowans who served during the Vietnam Era has become much more than I could have expected. We have created a short film version that was submitted to a number of film festivals and accepted at both the Farm to Field Fest in Washington, Iowa and the Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival. The feature-length film will be shown on March 29th at Brucemore but we couldn’t be more proud of having local film festivals see the value in what we are doing and wanting to include it alongside a variety of fellow Iowans.
