A life of making documentary films takes moxie, and Anne is proof of that.

For over three decades, she has shown grit and determination in the lengthy and tenuous process of bringing an idea to life on screen.She has received fellowships supporting her work from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and residencies at MacDowell, the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center, and the Blue Mountain Center. Anne's films have been broadcast nationally on PBS, HBO, and Showtime and internationally on the BBC, Channel 4 (UK), ZDF in Germany, Arte France, and Australian, Norwegian, Dutch, and Swedish public television; they have screened at Sundance, the Whitney Biennial, and festivals worldwide, winning many awards, including a national primetime Emmy.  Most of her films have a strong presence in the educational market and are available for streaming on her website, MakepeaceProductions.com.Her most recent feature documentary, Tribal Justice, aired nationally on POV/PBS and screened at more than 30 festivals.

It was two years ago today KC was enjoying a parade - and warm weather - to celebrate the Royals World Series win! A Twitter employee took down the President's twitter account when they left the company yesterday. What a great way to go out!! We ask you for your best quitting stories and revisit some of the best "take this job and shove it" moments of all time. The vent line gets opened. We look at the weekend box office with Cinetopia. Have a great weekend! Don't forget to "Fall Back" and Go Chiefs!

Is Jen a ghost? That's the big question posed from today's #TheShowKC. As we try to push thoughts of the previous night's Chiefs game out of our heads, let's ponder things like: why is there a bagel that costs $1,000? Should a guy still ask permission from a woman's dad before he asks her to marry him? Truta finally makes it in to the show and we get to #Blessed for a Friday. Cinetopia helps us preview the big movies coming out this weekend. Finally we get to Jen's scary story. Is there a time warp right here in Westport? Could we be in one of the gates to Hell? Listen and decide...have a great weekend!
