A documentary about the St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt began production in 2001 and continued in 2002, you may have noticed the lights and cameras while trekking through our public parks during the last two hunts. Cinematographer Bud Gardner and Filmmaker Trent Tooley are returning to film again this year. "It was a painful decision to not show the film and shoot again this year, but the bottom line is that we want to get this thing right."
They're going to try to be as unobtrusive as possible -- trying to set up some more interviews early in the hunt when no one really knows where it is, and following people as they are scouting and digging.
You're encouraged to learn more about the project by visiting the NAHF site. If you were filmed during the last two hunts, or would like to be kept informed of screening info, please E-Mail: MedallionHuntDoc@aol.com.
