Film garners CCH support

Jack London: Twentieth-Century Man has attracted funding support from the California Council for the Humanities, as part of their California Stories program. A new trailer is currently being edited for the next round of funding later this year.

Several recent interviews have been shot for the film as a result, including Dr. Marsha Orgeron, professor of film studies at North Carolina State University and author of “Hollywood Ambitions: Celebrity in the Movie Age”; Dr. Clarice Stasz, London biographer and professor emerita of history at Sonoma State University; and Jessica Greening Loudermilk, Ph.D candidate from the University of Davis and specialist in London’s Pacific works.

Director travels to JLS Symposium

Director Chris Million recently attended the biennial symposium of the Jack London Society at the Huntington Museum in San Marino, CA. Chris attended numerous presentations about Jack London’s life and work and had a great time chatting with the world’s leading Jack London experts.

Million also contributed clips from the film to help promote the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read program, featuring “The Call of the Wild” and running concurrent with the London Society Symposium.
