MERCURY 13 - FEATURE LENGTH DOCU/DRAMA – Netflix 2018
A feature length documentary about the women who were involved in the very first U.S astronaut-training program ‘Project Mercury’. This is a character-driven exploration of the surviving women’s untold story. Developed and produced by Geraldine Creed, the trailer (which Creed also directed), was fronted by the septuagenarian pilot, Wally Funk, the youngest member of the Mercury 13. Funk's attitude and verve stole the show at the Canadian, Hot Doc's documentary festival. The solid trailer wrapped up to a loud round of applause from the observers at the Forum. It all added up to an unexpected “Cuban Hat for the Best Pitch” award at the Forum in 2015.
