During a busy time this Fall, Ann Tegnell cut the trailer for ¿Donde Estan? The Disappeared Children of El Salvador that resulted in needed funding to kick this fine project forward. Working with co-producers Maria Rodriguez and Kaye Pyle, Ann used Final Cut Pro, rather than her usual Avid systems, to craft the 14 minute piece. Go girls!
