[Frameworks] Filmmakers Filming Monographs

[jared ashburn]

Emily,

Thank you for this information. I will investigate this immediately and
report back on my findings. I am, also, a fan of Sally Dixon and am
thrilled that she is being recognized for her achievements. I am curious
about Dixon's own personal archive as I am sure that it is loaded with all
kinds of treasures. Do you know anything about that?

Best wishes,
Jared
