Credits and Thanks

Sian Evans, Director, has been thinking about drunkenness since she was a little girl. She was quite surprised to find out what it was like to be the drunk person, and even more surprised to see that there are many different ways to be drunk. She has made inquiry documentaries for herself and for other filmmakers since 1984 on topics as diverse as land/space-based solar observatories and the child’s sense of home. She is most proud of: POTTER’S FIELD/ABC — on the burial of New York City’s unclaimed dead; HOME IS WHERE — on what makes a sense of home; BORROWED FROM OUR FUTURE/UNDP — an early global environmental alarm call made in the 1990’s; and her producing work on BEARING WITNESS/A&E — a feature-length documentary about the personal and professional lives of women war journalists reporting in Iraq, produced and directed by Barbara Kopple/Cabin Creek Films.

We thank the following for getting us to this point in development/production. As we continue to collect stories and understand what DRUNKEN is about, we will add many more names.

No film is an island.

Funders and Sponsors

Maine Arts Commission

Funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Northeast Historic Film and the Donors of their Collections

We could not make DRUNKEN without archives specializing in home movies, amateur films, and early cinema.

Our most important resource is Northeast Historic Film, located in Bucksport, Maine since 1986. We thank the archives, its Founders, Karan Sheldon and David Weiss, its Collections Manager, Gemma Scott, and the families that generously share their collections with the public.

Northeast Historic Film is a non-profit regional archives specializing in collections from Maine families and other “amateur” films documenting northern New England heritage. It is the largest moving image archive in Maine, with ten million feet of film and more than 8,000 hours of video: most of these materials are unique and irreplaceable. NHF cares for film from hundreds of northern New England places in a three-story temperature and humidity controlled vault building; providing state-of-the-art storage for institutions across the east coast.

Northeast Historic Film’s mission is to collect and preserve the film and video record of northern New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts), and to provide public access to the history and culture of the region embodied in it.
