Dear colleagues,

The Hollywood Librarian: A Look at Librarians through Film will be the first full-length documentary film to focus on the work and lives of librarians.

The promo of the flim says:

THEY HAVE MORE CARDHOLDERS THAN VISA

AND MORE OUTLETS THAN McDONALD'S

AND MOVE MORE OBJECTS THAN FEDEX

MEET YOUR LIBRARIAN

The director ANN M. SEIDL (also Writer of the screenplay) has a master degree of library and information services from the University of Denver. She is a library consultant and the owner and principal manager of a library consulting business which provides library research and GIS analysis products to public libraries and systems.

The Hollywood Librarian is a unique and charming blend of film clips, humor and critical analysis of the popular image of librarians. It will create a new-found empathy for the profession by revealing the diversity of individual librarians and the importance of what they do. This documentary will increase the public's awareness of the complex and democratic nature of librarianship in the age of technology, and be a step toward librarians redefining themselves as not only more than a stereotype, but also as a cultural imperative.
