West Branch Elementary is a K-4, Title 1 school in rural Pennsylvania.  When their Family Engagement Coordinator reached out looking for book donations to support activities to inspire kids and families to read together, we were happy to donate copies of both Scoochie & Skiddles books.  They had over 400 people at their first event and have now started a kids book review program called the Page Turning Warriors!

Baby Steps - an original mini-documentary

Created by the rising film director/producer, Darren West, Baby Steps is the story of Tom and Elliott's adoption process with their first daughter.  At just 5 minutes long, this mini-documentary captures the anticipation, anxiety, fear, and jubilation of the adoption process.  Award-winning documentary.
Accolades Include:
LDTV Awards- Best Documentary in the Lenape Regional High School District 
WHYY Youth Media Awards- 2nd place in Documentary Category 
FilmNOW Festival- 1st place in Documentary Category
 Diamond Docs Film Festival- Finalist
 Rowan RTF Media Fest + Awards- Finalist in Documentary 

Baby Steps - outtakes and bloopers

As with all films, there is often more left on the cutting room floor than what the audience finally sees.  This additional footage gives you a sense of what director/producer, Darren West, had to sift through in order to produce the final version.  We're sorry, Darren.  ;)
