Kaiulani Lee has just brought her stage play to video her long-sought goal to expand the reach of A Sense of Wonder into schools and homes, to nature enthusiasts who may not have yet experienced the play first-hand. A sneak peek of the new video was provided in March at the D.C. Environmental Film Festival in Washington, and the finished product a 52-minute color high-definition video adaptation of the stage play, shot in 2007 at Rachel Carsons actual summer cottage on Southport Island, Maine is, in a word, stunning. Viewers are treated to Carsons words from the actual location where they were written, to the accompaniment of Beethovens Violin Concerto (Carsons favorite classical work). By visiting the new films Web site www.asenseofwonderfilm.com and clicking on Trailer, youll get your own sneak peek at the new production. Plans are to offer the film for sale in DVD format later in March, via the Web site.
