News release: From Marianne Leviton, President, Whistling Boulder Productions. Happy News! We have just received another grant for our Ol' West Texas doc - one from the NEA! So why in these tough times are we successful in raising both grant and private funding? I'd have to say for two reasons: having a compelling story with broad appeal; and, telling a good story in the grant.
