Administrator Porter Memorial Hospital 2525 South Downing Denver, Colorado
Dear Sir:
Film maker Stan Brakhage has Just finished shooting footage in Pittsburgh for a film dealing with hospitals. We have had excellent cooperation and assistance from the hospitals and patients involved. The film thus far includes open heart surgery, wards, emergency room situations and a premature nursery. Alas, no birth, but we understand that he could have the opportunity to film a hospital birth within the next month, and wonder if you could make this possible.
The parents of the expected child are: George and Loise Foot
2008 Baseline Boulder, Colo.
443-7180
Their doctor: Dr. Max Bartlett
m 2412 Downing
Denver, Colorado
It might be helpgul for you to contact the hospitals that Mr. Brakhage worked with here, for further details on the project They are: Mr. Regis Bobonis
Mercy Hospital Stevenson & Locust Pittsburgh, Pa. 15219
Mr. William Horvath Western Pennsylvania Hospital 4800 Friendship Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15224
I am sure they would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Thank you for your consideration, I hope that you can help in this matter Sincerely,
Sally F. Dixon (Mrs.) Film Coordinator
