Steel Sculptress | Emmy Award Winner

Filming took Anthony Stengel and his team to various locations significant to Betsy's story, including her studio and teaching venues. The production phase was meticulously organized to highlight the processes behind Betsy's work and her interactions with students and community members. Stengel's direction ensured that the essence of Betsy's passion and her impact on the community were captured authentically, bringing her story to life through compelling visuals and interviews.

In post-production, Stengel Media carefully crafted the final piece, selecting footage that best represented Betsy's narrative and the documentary's themes. Editing, sound design, and color grading were tailored to enhance the storytelling, ensuring that the final product would engage and inspire Wyoming PBS viewers. The focus was on creating a documentary that not only highlighted Betsy's talent but also her significant contribution to community building through art.

"The Steel Sculptress" was enthusiastically received by Wyoming PBS and its audience, serving as a testament to the power of local storytelling and the impact of art on community cohesion. The documentary succeeded in shining a light on Betsy Bower's work and philosophy, reinforcing Stengel Media's reputation for producing meaningful, high-quality documentaries that resonate with viewers and celebrate Wyoming's vibrant arts scene.

Further elevating our hopes, "The Steel Sculptress" has been submitted to the 2024 Heartland Emmy’s. We are eagerly anticipating the possibility of a nomination and winning our third Emmy in July 2024, which would be a remarkable achievement that underscores our commitment to excellence in documentary filmmaking.
